Choose the incorrect statement(s):

(i) Skywave communication takes place at frequency above approximately 30 MHz.

(ii) Amplitude modulated (AM) radio communication is mostly done by ground wave propagation.

(iii) F layer of ionosphere is mostly responsible for skywave propagation.

(iv) Bandwidth required for transmission of video signal is generally more than audio signal.

EASY
Long-range radio transmission is possible when the radio waves are reflected from the ionosphere. For this to happen the frequency of the radio waves must be in the range:
