Three waves A, B and C of frequencies 1600 kHz, 5 MHz and 60 MHz respectively are to be transmitted from one place to another. Which of the following is the most appropriate mode of communication?
(a) A is transmitted via space wave while B and C are transmitted via sky wave
(b) A is transmitted via ground wave, B via sky wave and C via space wave
(c) B and C are transmitted via ground wave while A is transmitted via sky wave
(d) B is transmitted via ground wave while A and C are transmitted via space wave
The correct option is (b) A is transmitted via ground wave, B via skywave and C via space wave. Because the ground wave propagation is only suitable for up to 2MHz frequencies, and the space wave propagation is for the frequencies more than 40 MHz, whereas the skywave propagation is used for frequencies ranging from 30 to 40 MHz.
