Question
Give a reason for the following:
It is necessary to use satellites for long-distance TV transmission. Why?
Advertisements
Solution
- It is necessary to use satellites for long-distance TV transmissions because television signals are of high frequencies and high energies. Thus, these signals are not reflected by the ionosphere.
- Hence, satellites are helpful in reflecting TV signals. Also, they help in long-distance TV transmissions.
