Question
Explain LOS mode of communication.
✓
Answer
LOS communication ie. Line of Sight communication : The radio waves of frequency greater that 30 MHz are called space waves. The transmission of these waves from transmitting antenna to receiving antenna is called space wave propagation. In this mode of transmission these waves are transmitted horizontally. This mode of transmission is called Line of Sight (LOS) mode of transmission.

The gravitational potential energy of a two particle system is derived in this chapter as $\text{U}=-\frac{\text{Gm}_1\text{m}_2}{\text{r}}.$ Does it follow from this equation that the potential energy for $\text{r}=\infty$ must be zero? Can we choose the potential energy for $\text{r}=\infty.$ to be 20J and still use this formula? If no, what formula should be used to calculate the gravitational potential energy at separation r?
→(a) In Example 3.1, the electron drift speed is estimated to be only a few $mm s ^{-1}$ for currents in the range of a few amperes? How then is current established almost the instant a circuit is closed?
(b) The electron drift arises due to the force experienced by electrons in the electric field inside the conductor. But force should cause acceleration. Why then do the electrons acquire a steady average drift speed?
(c) If the electron drift speed is so small, and the electron's charge is small, how can we still obtain large amounts of current in a conductor?
(d) When electrons drift in a metal from lower to higher potential, does it mean that all the 'free' electrons of the metal are moving in the same direction?
(e) Are the paths of electrons straight lines between successive collisions (with the positive ions of the metal) in the (i) absence of electric field, (ii) presence of electric field?
