Are radar waves too long or too short to be seen?
Too Long.
Radar waves are too long or too short to be seen?
Radar waves are too long to be seen by the human eye. They have wavelengths ranging from a few millimeters to several meters, which are beyond the visible light spectrum. However, radar technology allows us to detect and visualize these waves for various applications like weather forecasting and aircraft navigation.
Are radar waves too short to see?
no they are too long
Why infrasonic waves can't be used in radar?
Radar comes from Radio Detection and Range. By definition, it uses radio waves. Ultra sonic waves, very high frequency audio waves, are used in Sonar, the name being analogous to Radar. Infra Sonic waves are of far too long a wavelength to be useful for any measurement of the distance of the target. [And there are some technical reasons as well - not dealt with here.]
Are waves given off by the electric power lines to long or to short to be seen?
They are too long. For a good comparison of different waves, look up "electromagnetic spectrum".
Is the visible light spectrum between radar waves and xrays?
No, the visible light spectrum falls between infrared and ultraviolet light on the electromagnetic spectrum. Radar waves have longer wavelengths than visible light, while X-rays have shorter wavelengths.
Which characteristic is common to microwaves radar waves and television waves?
Television waves are radar waves or radio waves simply because they are useful for long term communication and are readily reflected by the ionosphere. Microwaves are used for short term communication very rarely and for heating purposes. All three however travel at the same speed that is 299,792,468 m/s.
What is the technique that uses the reflection of electromagnetic waves to determine the location or direction of outside objects?
RADAR determines the distance and direction to anything that reflectsradio waves ... usually material objects, but it responds to atmosphericphenomena too.
Is it true waves given off by electric power lines are too long to be seen?
Yes. What you need to look at is the electromagnetic spectrum. There are many great graphical illustrations of this on the web.
Can x rays be seen by humans?
no because the wavelength of the waves are too short for us to see
Is infrared light too long wavelength or too short wavelength to be seen?
I looked it up in my physics text book and it says that the wavelength is too long to be seen by the human eye.
Why having a radar can be an advantage?
Having a radar means you can detect enemies before they can see you (unless they have a radar too).
