A mineral is a naturally occurring, inorganic solid with a definite chemical composition and a crystalline structure formed by geological processes.

A rock is an aggregate of one or more minerals. It may also contain organic remains and mineraloids apart from regular mineral formations. Since rocks vary in their mineral and chemical composition, they are classified according to the process of their formation.

The waves from a radio station can reach a home receiver by two paths. One is a straight-line path from transmitter to home, a d
slava [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

The path of waves reaching directly and through reflection from ionosphere will form a isosceles triangle.

Let the height be h . This will be height of a triangle of equal side whose base is of length 32 km. we shall calculate the length of one side of this triangle .

this length be l

l² = 16² + h²

l =  √(256 +h² )

2l = 2√(256 +h² )

path difference = 2l - 32 km

For destructive interference

path difference = wavelength /2 for minimum height .

2l - 32  = .344/2

2√(256 +h² )- 32 = . 172

2√(256 +h² ) = 32.172

4(256 +h² ) = 1035

(256 +h² ) = 258.76

h² = 2.76

h = 1.66 km
