  • 320π km2

  • 1440π km2

  • 640π km2

  • 120π km2


62.

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.


63.

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


D.

RC >> 1/f

From the modulated signal, we can demodulate or detect the modulating or message signal by using a diode and a suitable capacitor filter. The  A signal given to the input of the circuit appears at the output of the diode as a rectified wave. For good demodulation of A signal the value of RC (which is a lime-constant) is chosen such that   

      1f << RC

⇒  RC >> 1f

where f is the frequency of the carrier signal.

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


68.

For skywave propagation of a 10 MHz signal, what should be the minimum electron density in ionosphere?

  • ∼ 1.2 × 1012 m-3

  • ∼ 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


70.

Assertion:   Microwave communication is peferred over optical communication. 

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

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

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

  • if assertion is true and reason is false

  • if both assertion and reason are false statements
