Answer: ionosphere

Explanation: First it bounces off a top layer of the atmosphere called the ionosphere, then it bounces back to the Earth (this is reflection. It then bounces up again to the ionosphere, and continues bouncing back again until it reaches the radio receiver. This is called a skywave, which works around 3 to 30 MHz.
