Question:

What mode of propagation is used for the Ultra high frequency range?

Options:

Ground waves

Surface waves

Space waves

Sky waves

Correct Answer:

Space waves

Explanation:

Owing to its high frequency, an ultra high frequency (UHF) wave can neither travel along the trajectory of the ground nor can it get reflected by the ionosphere. The signals having UHF are propagated through line-of-sight communication, which is nothing but space wave propagation.

The correct answer is Option (3) → Space waves
