4. License Exam Questions of the week

One question is drawn from each of the three question pools. Steve, AE8AT,
is providing these questions.  Thanks Steve

 

Answers are at the end of this email.

 

We received a question regarding the strange mix of letters and numbers that
begin each question.  Every exam question has a unique combination of
letter-number-letter-number.  The first letter is a T, G, or E to identify
the question pool: Technician, General, or Extra.  Next is a single number
representing the category, for example, category zero is safety in all three
exam pools.  The first letter-number pair is called the "sub-element".   The
second letter is a "group" containing related questions.  Example,
sub-element G8 is Signals and Emissions, with group C of that sub-element
being Digital Emission Modes.  The questions are numbered sequentially:
G8C01, G8C02, and so forth always with a 2-digit number at the end.  The
question identity is included in case of a typo or some "help" from
autocorrect obscures either the question or the answer.  

 

Radio waves and how they bounce about is the subject this week. 

 

T3B06 What is the formula for converting frequency to approximate wavelength
in meters?

A. Wavelength in meters equals frequency in hertz multiplied by 300

B. Wavelength in meters equals frequency in hertz divided by 300

C. Wavelength in meters equals frequency in megahertz divided by 300

D. Wavelength in meters equals 300 divided by frequency in megahertz

 

G3A01 What is the significance of the sunspot number about HF propagation?

A. Higher sunspot numbers generally indicate a greater probability of good
propagation at higher frequencies

B. Lower sunspot numbers generally indicate greater probability of sporadic
E propagation

C. A zero sunspot number indicates that radio propagation is not possible on
any band

D. A zero sunspot number indicates undisturbed conditions

 

E3B12 What is the primary characteristic of chordal hop propagation?
