Electromagnetic Waves of frequencies higher than $9\sqrt{2}$ MHz are found to be reflected by the ionosphere on a particular day at a place. The maximum electron density in the ionosphere is |
$\sqrt{5} × 10^{12} m^{-3}$ $\sqrt{2} × 10^{12} m^{-3}$ $2 × 10^{12} m^{-3}$ $5 × 10^{12} m^{-3}$ |
$2 × 10^{12} m^{-3}$ |
The frequency of electromagnetic waves$\nu = 9\sqrt{\text{ maximum electron density}} = 9 \sqrt{d_{max}}$ $\Rightarrow d_{max} = \frac{\nu^2}{81} = \frac{162\times 10^{12}}{81} = 2\times 10^{12}$ |
