Q142 / 180 · AIIMS 2013 · Physics

For satellite communication which wave is used ?

Correct answer
A
Space wave
B
Sky wave
C
Ground wave
D
Microwave

Solution

A space wave travels in a straight line from transmitting antenna to the receiving antenna. Space waves are used for line of sight communi-cation as well as satellite communication.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
