Radio waves bounce and return to earth?

The Radio waves are reflected back to Earth in the Ionosphere.


Which Atmospheric layer reflects radio wave?

It is the ionosphere, a general region that includes all of the thermosphere and parts of the two bordering layers. In this region, between 60 and 1000 kilometers above the Earth, ionized particles refract and reflect radio waves back toward the ground. This enables radio transmissions that are normally "line of sight" only to reach over the horizon for hundreds or thousands of miles. This includes broadcast radio (HF) and shortwave bands.


What level of atmosphere bounces off radio waves off of the earth?

Radio waves are in all parts of the atmosphere. Some, but not all, radio waves are reflected from the ionosphere, permitting transmission over greater distances.


What layer of the atmosphere reflects radio waves?

The ionosphere is the layer of the atmosphere that reflects radio waves. This layer is able to reflect specific frequencies of radio waves back to Earth, allowing for long-distance communication using radio signals.


Radio waves heading upward from earth often bounces the?

ionosphere


What characteristic of the ionosphere enables radio active waves?

The ionosphere has nothing to do with radioactivity, and there is nothing in nature that is called a "radio active wave."Because the ionosphere contains electrical charges, it is able to reflect radio waves.


This layer is responsible for the possibility of radio communication?

The ionosphere is the layer responsible for enabling long-distance radio communication by reflecting radio waves back to Earth. Its charged particles interact with radio waves, bending and reflecting them to facilitate communication over long distances. Without the ionosphere, radio waves would continue into space, limiting long-distance communication possibilities.


What layer reflectes radio waves back to earth?

The ionosphere contains weakly ionized gas which reflects radio waves.


Radio waves headed upward from earth often bounce off the?

thermosphere-apex


Part of atmosphere used to bounce shortwave radio waves?

Radio waves bounce off of the ionosphere and return back to Earth.


radio waves heading upward from earth often bounce off the ____.?

ionosphere


What important quality does the ionosphere?

The ionosphere helps to protect Earth from harmful solar radiation by absorbing and reflecting high-energy particles and radiation. Additionally, it plays a key role in enabling long-distance radio communications by reflecting radio waves back towards Earth's surface.
