How are radio waves affected in the atmosphere?
I dont think they do, Radio waves diffract less and arn't affected by the ionosphere which is the upper part of the atmosphere. Most electromagnetic waves are affected severely by the atmosphere, which is a good thing due to the strength they carry EXCEPT microwaves *Apparantly*.
Why are sound waves more affected by temperature variations than radio waves?
Sound is effected by air pressure and temperature and the movement of the source. Light and radio waves are virtually unaffected by the air.
AM radio waves are able to traves farther than FM radio waves because?
AM radio waves have longer wavelengths compared to FM radio waves, allowing them to diffract or bend around obstacles such as buildings and hills. This enables AM radio waves to travel greater distances and provide better coverage in areas with obstructions. FM radio waves, on the other hand, travel in straight lines and are more affected by obstacles.
Can a microwave be on top of a fridge freezer?
Yes. The short waves that bounce around inside the oven should be well shielded from penetrating the freezer ice. Heat from the freezer coils rises, but that should not harm the microwave. Neither device should have any negative impact on the other in that configuration.
How far do radio waves travel and what factors affect their range?
Radio waves can travel long distances, sometimes thousands of miles, depending on factors like frequency, power, and obstacles in the environment. The range of radio waves can be affected by interference, atmospheric conditions, and the curvature of the Earth.
What are some negative factors about radio waves?
Radio waves can be affected by interference from other devices and obstacles like buildings, leading to signal disruptions. They can also be limited in range and penetration through certain materials, impacting their reach and reliability for communication. Additionally, radio waves can be susceptible to security risks, such as eavesdropping and hacking.
Can people disrupt radio waves by standing in front of them?
Yes. Radio waves are electromagnetic and are affected by anything that conducts electricity. The human body is mostly made of water, which conducts electricity and therefore affects radio waves. To demonstrate the effect, see what happens when you move around a radio tuned to a station with relatively poor reception.
Does mechinal waves have radio waves?
no, mechanical waves are not radio waves
Can radio waves pass through clouds?
Clouds interfere with radio signals because the density of the cloud can cause static with the radio signal. The air can also interfere with the signal.
How are electromagnetic waves different to radio waves?
Radio waves ARE electromagnetic waves.
Are radio waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Transverse. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which are transverse.
Are radar waves visible?
No. Radar waves are one category of radio waves. Think of all the radio waves that are all around you right now . . . AM radio, FM radio, police and fire radio, highway patrol radio, taxi radio, television picture and sound radio waves, cellphone radio waves, garage-door-opener radio waves, bluetooth radio waves, WiFi waves, microwaves ... and you can't see any of them ! Radar waves can easily be there in the group.
