A wave travels through space on its way to a communications satellite. What kind of wave is it most likely to be?

The wave making the trip to the communications satellite will be a radio wave, which is an electromagnetic wave. Electromagnetic waves can move through the vacuum of space because they do not need a medium in which to travel. We usually use the microwave band of frequencies to communicate with satellites.

What travels around earth and is known as earth's satellite?
Earth's most famous natural satellite is known as the moon.
Which factor would most likely cause communications satellite orbiting earth to return to earth from its orbit?
That will happen if the satellite loses energy. This is usually caused by air resistance, if the satellite's orbit is too low.
Is microwave media is faster than satellite?
Your communications with a satellite are by the use of microwaves. High frequency em waves.The distance to your local transmitter will most likely be much less than to a satellite, and transit delays will be shorter.The speed of the comms media is essentially at the speed of light - the only difference is the distance.
What is the name of the aorta as it travels through the chest?
descending aorta
It likely to be the dictionary definition of moon?
The natural satellite of a planet.
What does it mean if the burn still hurts after a week?
Pain travels through nerves. Therefore, the pain you feel is likely due to damaged nerves at the site of contact.
What kind of satellite would most likely be used to gather information about the effects of pollution in south America rain forest?
They would most likely use a Earth Observing Satellite.
I live in an apartment complex that does not allow satellite dishes. Is there an alternative to Charter communications for my cable provider?
TDS, Chorus, AT&T to name a few. Check to see if Verizon Fios is available in your area. Other than that however you aren't likely to find another cable provider. They typically monopolize markets.
Which kind of biologist would most likely use satellite technology?
A wildlife or population biologist might want to track large and smaller populations of organisms by satellite.
Can I use my radio for satellite radio or do I need a special kind of radio for that?
Satellite radio requires a special receiver to receive the signal from the satellite. If you do not already have a satellite radio you may be able to install one with your installed radio if you have a open auxiliary jack, otherwise you will likely need to replace your radio.
Does sound travel better though air or water?
Sound travels better and faster in air because air has a lower density than water and the sound vibrations can travel faster through them and with more accuracy, whereas in water the vibrations slowly die out and do not travel well because the density of the water will likely muffle and obstruct the sound waves. sound travels better in air than in water as sound travels in vibrations.. it travels faster in water than in air but it travels better in air.....
Why does satellite gets hot?
Most Likely the satellite gets hot form coming in close proximity with the earth's atmosphere, skipping along it, therefore causing friction with it and heating it up.
