Question 116

Which region of the atmosphere can reflect HF radio waves?

  1. The stratosphere
  2. The troposphere
  3. The ionosphereCorrect answer
  4. The electrosphere

Explanation

The ionosphere is the region ionised by solar radiation, roughly 60 to 400 km up, and its free electrons bend HF signals back toward the ground. The troposphere and stratosphere are not ionised, so they cannot return HF waves in this way.
