(a) (n + 1 h / a) 106

(b) (n + 1 + h / a) 106

(c) (n - 1 h / a) 106

(d) (n - 1 + h / a) 106

118 When microwave signal follows the curvature of the earth, the phenomenon is called:
(a) Faradays effect (b) ducting (c) Tropospheric scatter (d) ionospheric reflection
119 VLF waves are used for some specific applications because:
(a) they easily penetrate ionosphere
(c) they are very reliable

(b) they require low power


(d) the transmitting antennas are of convenient size

120 The day time broadcasting in 535-1600 kHz range:


(a) completely depends on tropospheric waves
(c) ground waves
above) at all

(b) ionospheric waves

(d) does not depend on mode of propagation (listed in a, b, c

121 The skip distance for radio wave increases with:


(a) Increase in frequency

(b) Decrease in frequency

(c) Atmospheric disturbances

(d) Temperature of atmosphere

122 High frequency waves are:


(a) absorbed by F2 layer
moon

(b) capable of use for long distance communication on

(c) affected by solar cycle

(d) reflected by D layer

123. If wave of critical frequency 30 MHz is departing at an angle of 600, then the MUF is:
(a) 10 MHz

(b) 15 MHz

(c) 40 MHz

(d) 60 MHz

124 If 0 is the angle of incidence, d is the distance between transmitter and receiver and R
is the radius of earth, the take-off angle is given by the relation:
(a) = 90 - 0 - 57.3 d / 2R
(c) = 90 + 0 - 57.3 d / 2R

(b) = 90 - 0 + 57.3 d / 2R
(d) = 90 + 0 + 57.3 d / 2R
