उत्तर
The phenomena involved in the reflection of radiowaves by ionosphere is similar to total internal reflection of light in air during a mirage.
Explanation:
Radio waves are reflected by a layer of the atmosphere called the Ionosphere, so they can reach distant parts of the Earth. The reflection of radio waves by ionosphere is due to total internal reflection. It is the same as total internal reflection of light in the air during a mirage, i.e., angle of incidence is greater than critical angle.
Important point: The ionized part of the Earth’s atmosphere is known as the ionosphere. Ultraviolet light from the sun collides with atoms in this region knocking electrons loose. The creates ions or atoms with missing electrons. This is what gives the Ionosphere its name- and it is the free electrons that cause the reflection and absorption of ratio waves.
