Q. Maximum usable frequency (MUF) in $F$-region layer is $x$, when the critical frequency is $60\ MHz$ and the angle of incidence is $70{^\circ}$. Then $x$ is

A) 150 $MHz$
B) 170 $MHz$
C) 175 $MHz$
D) 190 $MHz$
Explanation

(c) $MUF = \frac{f_{c}}{\cos\theta} = \frac{60}{\cos{70{^\circ}}} = 175\ MHz$
