Assertion:  In the transmission of long distance radio signals, short wave band is used. 

Reason: In shorter wavelength, attenuation is very less.

• If both assertion and reason are true and reason is correct the explanation of assertion.

• If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

• If assertion is true but reason is false.

• If both assertion and reason are false.

Transmission lines transmit a voltage of V volt to our houses from power stations, then the power P supplied by them is proportional to

• $\frac{1}{\mathrm{V}}$

• V

• V²

• $\frac{1}{{\mathrm{V}}^2}$

Assertion:  Communication in UHF/VHF regions can be established by space wave or tropospheric wave. 

Reason:  Communication in UHF/VHF regions is limited to line of sight distance

• If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

• If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

If the highest modulating frequency of the wave is 5 kHz, the number of stations that can be accomodated in a 150 kHz bandwidth ?

• 15

• 10

• 5

• None of these

Given below is the circuit diagram of an AM demodulator. For good demodulation of AM signal of carrier frequency f, the value of RC should be

• RC = 1/f

• RC < 1/f

• RC ≥ 1/f

• RC >> 1/f

Assertion:  Electromagnetic waves with frequencies smaller than the critical frequency of ionosphere are used for communication using sky wave propagation. 

Reason:  The refractive index of the ionosphere becomes very high for frequencies higher than the critical frequency.

• If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion

• If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation ofthe assertion

• If assertion is true, but reason is false

• Both assertion and reason are false statements

• ∼ 10⁶ m^-3

• ∼ 10¹⁴ m^-3

• ∼ 10²² m^-3

Assertion: Television signals are received through sky-wave propagation.

Reason: The ionosphere reflects electromagnetic waves of frequencies greater than a certain critical frequency

• If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

• If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

• If assertion is true but reason is false

• If both assertion and reason are false

Assertion:   Microwave communication is peferred over optical communication. 

Reason: Microwaves provide large number of channels and bandwidth compared to optical signals.
