Radio and tv signals are reflected back to earth in witch layer?

The ionosphere reflects radio waves back to Earth. Actually I heard it is refraction, not reflection; but the term "reflection" is commonly used.

Radio signals are bounced back to earth by this layer?
ionosphere <novanet>
Layer of charged particles above earth?
The layer of charged particles in Earth's atmosphere is called the ionosphere. The most famous application of this layer is AM radio, which bounces its waves off of the ionosphere for radio receivers to use.
What is the outermost and biggest layer of earth atmosphere?
The ionosphere there are particles called ions in the ionosphere (hens the name). The ions cause radio waves from am radio stations to bounce off of it.
Is a methosphere a layer of earth?
The methosphere is a layer but it is not a major layer of the earth
What is crust?
the outer layer of the earth
What is Ino-sphere layer?
To be specific, its ionosphere. It is one of the layers above the earth's atmosphere consisting of ions of gases. Radio signals are reflected back to the earth from this very layer.
What layer of the earth's atmosphere where the radio communication are reflected back to the earth?
I believe it is the Ionosphere.
Radio signals are bounced back to earth by this layer?
ionosphere <novanet>
What is the layer of atmosphere where radio signals are reflected back to the earths surface?
The ionosphere bends radio waves . . . most go out into space, but a fair number hit the earth far away, and are reflected back up to the ionosphere. Radio operators call this phenomenon, "The skip".
What do radio waves bounce off?
Radio waves are reflected by many solid objects, such as wood, stone, and notably metal, allowing the use of microwaves in radar applications.Also importantly in broadcast radio, the ionosphere (an upper layer of the Earth's atmosphere) can bounce signals back down to locations beyond the line-of-sight horizon.
What layer of the atmostshere reflects radio signals?
The ionoshere
What is the layer of electrically charged particles in the thermosphere that absorbs AM radio waves during the day and reflects them back at night?
The atmospheric layer that refracts (bends) radio signals is called the ionosphere. The radio waves are reflected a little, as you say, but are mostly refracted, that is, bent, back to earth. Happenss in the daytime, too, but too little to be useful in most cases. By the way, it is a similar process that messes up GPS locator precision.
Which atmosphere layer contains electrically charged particles that radio waves?
The ionosphere. To clarify, only the low-frequency radio waves incorrectly called "high-frequency" or "HF" of about 50MHz and below are reflected. "Very High Frequency" VHF signals are not reflected, but go straight off into space. For example, in the "AM" commercial broadcast spectrum, the transmission is reflected back to the Earth and is receivable for great distances, a phenomenon that used to be called "skip". AM signals are in the band of 550KHZ to 1.6 MHz. "FM" stations in the band from 88MHz to 108MHz are only received by "Line of sight" transmissions.
Which transmission media is used in bluetooth technology?
Radio LinksThe physical layer transmits signals in form of radio waves.
What is the difference between the function of ozonosphere and stratosphere?
Ozonosphere has concentration of ozone, sufficient to block the ultraviolet radiation from sun. Thats why this layer of atmosphere called ozonosphere. Ionosphere, this layer enables wireless transmission, radio wave transmitted from earth, is reflected back to earth by these ions. The ionosphere is the top most layer of earth atmosphere usually its where the satelites hang around.

What layer of atmosphere is radio waves?
