Radar waves are too long or too short to be seen?
Radar waves are too long to be seen.
Are radar waves too long or too short to be seen?
Too Long.
Is the visible light spectrum between radar waves and xrays?
Yes, radar waves are radio waves and too long for the eye to see (off the red end of the visible spectrum) and X rays are too short to see (off the blue/violet end of the visible spectrum).
Can x rays be seen by humans?
no because the wavelength of the waves are too short for us to see
Are radar waves too long to be seen?
Yes. The visible spectrum of light is much shorter than the shortest radar (radio) wave.
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).
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.]
What are waves in the air caused by vibrations?
sound waves (If they're too long or too short, then you can't hear them, but they're still there anyway.)
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.
Why does radar sometimes miss tornadoes?
Tornadoes can be very small, sometimes too small to be detected by Doppler radar, especially at long distances. The farther away from the radar a storm is, the less detail you can make out and the less you are able to see close to the ground.
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".
