Why are we able to hear short wave broadcast better than long wave broadcasts?

1 Answer Helpful (0) 133 Views

Because, radio waves in the shortwave band can be reflected or refracted from the ionosphere. Therefore, short waves directed at an angle into the sky can be reflected back to Earth at great distan...

Why are sound easier to hear at night than at day time?

1 Answer Helpful (1) 118 Views

Due to the refraction of sound, we can hear sounds easily at night than during clear days.On a clear day, the lower layer of the atmosphere is hotter than the layers above. Since sound travels fast...
