Questions and Answers

Match the following terms related to Sky Wave Propagation with their definitions:

Critical Frequency ($f_c$) = The highest frequency which can be reflected by a particular layer at a vertical incidence Virtual Height ($h$) = The height to which a short pulse of energy sent vertically upward and traveling with the speed of light would reach taking the same two ways to travel time as does the actual pulse reflected from the layer Maximum Usable Frequency (MUF) = The maximum possible value of frequency for which reflection takes place for a given distance of propagation Skip distance = The minimum distance on the surface of the earth from where the signal is transmitted and the first point of reflection from the ionosphere

Match the following equations related to Sky Wave Propagation with their corresponding variables:

$f_c = 9\sqrt{N_m}$ = Critical Frequency $h =\dfrac{cT},{2}$ = Virtual Height $f_{muf} = 3.6 f_c$ = Maximum Usable Frequency (MUF) $d = \dfrac{1},{2} \sqrt{g t^2}$ = Distance
