3. How will you distinguish
radio reception from radio
transmission? *
Radio reception is the same as radio
transmission.
Radio reception is entirely different
from radio transmission.
Radio reception is the complete
reverse of radio transmission
Radio reception and radio
transmission are both done by radio
stations.

Twelve VHF television channels (channels 2 through 13) lie in the range of frequencies between 54.0 MHz and 216 MHz. Each channel is assigned a width of 6.00 MHz, with the two ranges 72.076.0 MHz and 88.0174 MHz reserved for non-TV purposes. (Channel 2, for example, lies between 54.0 and 60.0 MHz.)
