Appleton
The 'F region' of the ionosphere is also known as the Appleton layer, named after British physicist Edward Victor Appleton who first proposed its existence in the 1920s. It is the region of the ionosphere that is most ionized and is responsible for reflecting high frequency radio waves.
The ionosphere is a region in Earth's upper atmosphere where gases are ionized by solar and cosmic radiation. It plays a crucial role in the propagation of radio waves and influences long-distance communication systems. The ionosphere contains layers such as the D, E, and F layers, with the F layer being the highest and most ionized.

Eletromagnetic radiation with a frequency below the ionosphere's plasma frequency will generally be reflected. The specific frequency depends on the density of ionospheric plasma which can vary at different altitudes, but also different geomagnetic latitudes and from day to night. For a typical daytime mid-latitude ionosphere, the most dense part of the ionosphere, (the "F" region), will reflect radio frequencies up to ~2.8Mhz (assuming an electron density of 1e11 m-3).

Another name for aperture in photography is the f-stop.

The ionosphere is a layer of the earth's atmosphere that is weakly ionized.It is located in the same region as the top half of the mesosphere and the entire thermosphere in the upper atmosphere, from about 40 mi (60 km).In the ionosphere, the molecules and atoms in the air are ionized mostly by the sun's UV rays.The ionosphere is one of the two parts of the thermosphere.It is also directly above the Mesosphere.
The ionosphere is a region of Earth's upper atmosphere, primarily located between about 30 miles (48 kilometers) and 600 miles (965 kilometers) above the surface. It consists of several layers, with the most notable being the D, E, and F layers. These layers are characterized by varying electron densities and play a crucial role in radio wave propagation and atmospheric electricity. The ionosphere is essential for communication systems, as it reflects certain radio frequencies back to Earth.
the bass clef
the ionosphere is unique because of the significant amount of charged particles it contains, it is the only part of our atmosphere that contains reasonable amount of charged particles that can refract or even reflect high frequency (HF, 3-30MHz) radio waves. This makes the ionosphere a vital tool for long distance propagation of HF radio waves since the waves when transmitted from a point on earth is reflected back to another point on earth, the range depending on the angle of propagation.
