Sur un trajet à double saut impliquant la surface de la Terre comme point médian, quel phénomène renvoie l'onde radio vers l'ionosphère?

  1. ALa diffraction
  2. BLa diffusion
  3. CLa réflexion
  4. DLa réfraction

Correct answer: C — La réflexion. Question tirée de la banque officielle d'ISDE.

Why

When a radio wave hits the ground during a double-hop path, it bounces off the Earth's surface much like a ball bouncing off a wall, which is called reflection. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.

Radio wave propagation is section B-007 of the Basic exam: How signals travel: the ionosphere and its layers, skip, ground wave, sporadic E, and which bands work when.
