N N(h) A uniform plane electromagnetic wave of frequency f= 5MHZ emitted by an antenna at the earth's surface is incident normally on a layer of the ionosphere whose concentration of free electrons can be approximated by the following linear function of the latitude above the earth's surface: (h – h;) (h2 – h1) N (h) = No For hShsh, where h=100 km, h;=200 km and N= 5 x 10'" m²³. Find the highest altitude h reached by the wave, at which it bounces off and returns to the antenna.
