2070 magh (Q). The reflection takes place at a height of 350km and the maximum density in the ionosphere corresponds to a 0.75 refractive index at 10MHz. What will be the range (assume the earth is flat) for which MUF is 12MHz.

μ = √(1-81N/f2 )

0.75 = √(1-81N/(10*106 )

Nmax =5.4*1011

fc = 9√(Nmax )

=6.614*106 Hz

and

Dskip = 2h √((fmuf /fc)2 -1)

=2*350√((12*106 /(6.614*106 ))2-1)

Dskip = 631.64 km
