Why is ionosphere important for communications?
It is what radio waves bounce off of.
What important quality does the ionosphere?
the ionosphere is important is the it is in the thermosphere
What is affected by an increase in sunspot activity?
Sunspot activity affects radio communications. It can cause ionisation of the D and E layers of the ionosphere which allows High frequency radio waves to be bent back toward Earth, providing multiple hop communications.
What can be found in the ionosphere?
Radio Waves.
How does the ionosphere help us?
The ionosphere has the useful property of reflecting radio waves, thereby enabling us to send radio signals past the horizon.
How does the ionosphere affect AM radio transmissions?
these ionised particles,reflect the radio wave to earth back.depending on the density of the ionosphere,at the time determins the amound of radio waves.this will affect clear reception.the height of the ionosphere involves reflecting angle,which gives long length hops.in this way long distance communications are affect by ionosphere.
Why is ionosphere important for communications?
It is what radio waves bounce off of.
What layer does reflection of waves for world wide radio communications happen in the atmosphere?
Ionosphere
How can solar flares disrupt radio and satellite communications and power grids?
Charged particles from the sun can disrupt the Earth's magnetic field. This causes electromagnetic induction, producing abnormal currents in power grids, possibly destroying electronic equipment. Radio communications rely on the ionosphere which reflects radiowaves. Particles can enter the ionosphere and disrupt these radio communications.
What important quality does the ionosphere?
the ionosphere is important is the it is in the thermosphere
The region of the atmosphere that reflects radio signals is the?
The Ionosphere.
This layer is responsible for the possibility of radio communication?
The Ionosphere
Radio waves bounce and return to earth?
The Radio waves are reflected back to Earth in the Ionosphere.
What is affected by an increase in sunspot activity?
Sunspot activity affects radio communications. It can cause ionisation of the D and E layers of the ionosphere which allows High frequency radio waves to be bent back toward Earth, providing multiple hop communications.
What layer of the atmosphere reflects radio waves?
the ionosphere.
Why.(Had to put this otherwise,woldn't be able to post.Every 11 years, the sun has a period of large solar flares called sunspots. During this time extra solar energy is produced. How would this energy affect the ionosphere and some radio communications?
It would destroy the ionspehere and thats where radio communications travel? (Accidently deleted answer of mine) ALso the solar flares would interfere with radio waves making them unable to travel
Which Atmospheric layer reflects radio wave?
It is the ionosphere, a general region that includes all of the thermosphere and parts of the two bordering layers. In this region, between 60 and 1000 kilometers above the Earth, ionized particles refract and reflect radio waves back toward the ground. This enables radio transmissions that are normally "line of sight" only to reach over the horizon for hundreds or thousands of miles. This includes broadcast radio (HF) and shortwave bands.
