(a) Temperature decreases with increase in height

(b) Temperature increases with increase in height

(c) Gas components don’t remain in constant percentage with increase in height

(d) Water vapor components remain same with height

This question was addressed to me in an interview for internship.

Question is taken from Radio Wave Propagation in chapter Radio Wave Propagation of Antennas

Answer 1

Correct choice is (a) Temperature decreases with increase in height

Best explanation: The property of troposphere is that temperature decreases with increase in height. Gas components remains in constant percentage with increase in height but water vapor components decrease with increase in height.
