La réception de signaux radio haute fréquence (HF) au-delà de 4000 km est généralement rendue possible par:

  1. Al'onde de sol
  2. Bl'onde diffusée
  3. Cl'onde d'espace
  4. Dl'onde ionosphérique

Correct answer: D — l'onde ionosphérique. Question tirée de la banque officielle d'ISDE.

Why

High frequency radio waves travel thousands of kilometres by bouncing off the ionosphere, a charged layer high in the atmosphere that acts like a mirror for these signals. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
