Class 12th Physics 2017 Set3 Delhi Board Paper Solution
Why is it not possible to use sky waves for transmission of TV signals? Upto what distance can a signal be transmitted using an antenna of height h?
Transmission of TV signal is not possible through sky wave propagation as ionosphere cannot reflect these signal to the earth. Maximum line of sight distance dM between transmitting and receiving antenae should be,

Answer the following questions:
(a) The earths magnetic field varies from point to point in space. Does it also change with time? If so, on what time scale does it change appreciably?
(b) The earths core is known to contain iron. Yet geologists do not regard this as a source of the earths magnetism. Why?
