Question

With increase in frequency of the EM waves, to be transmitted via ground wave propagation, there is

(1) an increase in attenuation, but no change in the range of coverage

(2) a decrease in attenuation, but no change in the range of coverage

(3) an increase in attenuation, there is also a change in range of coverage

(4) a decrease in attenuation, there is also a change in the range of coverage 

Answer 1

(3) an increase in attenuation, there is also a change in range of coverage

In ground wave propagation, the attenuation of surface waves increases (very rapidly) with increase in frequency. The range of coverage also depends on the frequency of the transmitted EM Wave.
