Question

The differences in the virtual height and actual height are affected by the electron density in the ionosphere region.

(a) True

(b) False

The question was posed to me in an online quiz.

I'm obligated to ask this question of Virtual Height in section Virtual Height, Critical Frequency and Muf of Antennas

Answer 1

The correct choice is (a) True

For explanation: The difference occurs due to the exchange of energy between wave and the electrons present in the ionosphere which changes the velocity of propagation of wave. So the difference between virtual and actual height are influenced by the electron distribution.
