Two waves A and B of frequencies 2 MHz and 3 MHz,

Question:

Two waves A and B of frequencies 2 MHz and 3 MHz, respectively are beamed in the same direction for communication via skywave. Which one of these is likely to travel a longer distance in the ionosphere before suffering total internal reflection?

Solution:

The refractive index of B would be more than a refractive index of A because the frequency of wave B s more than the frequency of wave A.
