Do television satellites use infrared waves to transmit?
Television satellites do not use infrared waves to transmit signals; instead, they primarily use radio waves, specifically in the microwave frequency range. These microwaves are effective for long-distance communication, allowing satellites to transmit audio and video data back to Earth. Infrared waves, while used in certain applications like remote controls and some optical communication systems, are not suitable for the large-scale transmission required by television broadcasting.
How many volts are found in infrared waves?
Infrared waves typically do not carry a specific voltage. Instead, they are characterized by their frequency and wavelength, which fall between microwaves and visible light on the electromagnetic spectrum. Voltage is a measure of electric potential, not typically associated directly with infrared waves.
Why are there microwaves instead of radio waves in a mobile device?
your mum :D
How is an infrared sauna different from a traditional sauna?
Instead of using steam like in traditional saunas an infrared sauna uses infrared heaters. Both are just as hot, but some claim more health benefits from infrared.
What stops microwaves from penetrating certain materials?
Certain materials, like metals and thick metals, can block microwaves because they reflect the waves instead of letting them pass through. This is due to the properties of the material that prevent the microwaves from penetrating.
Is infrared ionising?
Infrared radiation is not ionizing because it does not have enough energy to remove electrons from atoms or molecules. Instead, infrared radiation mainly causes molecular vibrations and rotations, leading to the heating of materials.
Why can't metal objects be inside a microwave oven when this is working?
They reflect the microwaves instead of absorbing them.
Why are microwaves efficient?
They create heat inside the object being cooked, instead of wasting it outside.
What did they used to use in the 1800's instead of microwaves?
NO! there wasnt much of elecrticity yet.
What people used instead of microwaves in 1800?
Wood stoves. (They burned wood or coal to get hot).
Do satellites tell you if a tsunami is going to hit?
No, satellites are not used in tracking tsunamis. Tsunamis are instead tracked using buoys spread throughout the ocean.
Do airplanes have microwaves on board for heating up food?
No, airplanes do not have microwaves on board for heating up food. Instead, they use ovens or hot plates to heat up meals for passengers.
