Question

The Upper ray is stronger than the lower ray and is mostly preferred for communication.

(a) True

(b) False

This question was addressed to me by my college director while I was bunking the class.

My question comes from Multi Hop Propagation topic in portion Virtual Height, Critical Frequency and Muf of Antennas

Answer 1

The correct option is (b) False

The explanation is: The Upper ray is weaker than the lower ray in terms of energy contents and it spreads more in the electron density region compared to the lower ray. So the lower ray is mostly preferred for communication.
