Qu'est-ce qui fait varier la fréquence maximale utilisable?

  1. ALes conditions météorologiques juste en deçà de l'ionosphère
  2. BL'intensité du rayonnement reçu du Soleil
  3. CLa température de l'ionosphère
  4. DLa vitesse des vents dans la haute atmosphère

Correct answer: B — L'intensité du rayonnement reçu du Soleil. Question tirée de la banque officielle d'ISDE.

Why

The maximum usable frequency changes because the sun's radiation constantly alters how dense the ionosphere becomes, which in turn determines the highest radio signal that can bounce back to Earth. 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.
