    A sky wave with a frequency 55 MHz is incident on D-region of earth's atmosphere at 45o. The angle of refraction is (electron density for D-region is 400 electron/cm3) [Haryana PMT 2003]

    A)            60°

    B)            45°

    C)            30°

    D)            15°

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                       \[{{n}_{eff}}={{n}_{0}}\sqrt{1-\left( \frac{80.5\,N}{{{\nu }^{2}}} \right)}=1\sqrt{1-\frac{80.5\times (400\times {{10}^{6}})}{{{(55\times {{10}^{6}})}^{2}}}}\approx 1\] Also \[{{n}_{eff}}=\frac{\sin i}{\sin r}\] Þ \[\sin r=\sin i\] Þ \[r=i=45{}^\circ \]
