When a police officer uses radar for speed control the officer is using what kind of electromagnetic waves?
radio waves
How fast do cell phone waves travel through the air?
Cell phone transmission uses shortwaves (120 MHz to 1000MHz) to transmit its signals, these waves are Electro-magnetic waves (just like light); thus, they travel at the speed of light: 299,792,458 m/s or 670,616,629 mph.
What appliance uses small sound waves?
Microphones
What instrument uses radio waves to penetrate gas and dust of the universe?
stop
What type of wave uses a medium?
All waves of the EM. spectrum e.g. Radio waves Microwaves Light waves X-rays Gamma rays Cosmic Rays etc. Technically gravity waves and a couple other waves that relate to inter- and extra- atomic bonds
Air craft detecting device?
Radar is an object-detection system that uses radio waves to determine the range, altitude, direction, or speed of objects. It can be used to detect aircrafts.
What are infa-red waves used for?
Infrared waves are special waves that helps you get rid of wrinkles.
When a police officer uses radar speed for control the officer is using what kind of electromagnetic waves?
Radar uses radio waves.
How does sonar use echoes to locate objects?
Sonar uses echoes to locate objects by bouncing sound waves off them and detecting the echoes.
Why are radars circle shaped?
a radar uses a "parabolic" dish to capture the radio waves and because the shape is concave the waves hit the centre of the dish, the receiver is placed away from the centres facing the dish where the waves are reflected to it. The classic example is satellite dish receivers
When a police officer uses radar for speed control the officer is using what kind of electromagnetic waves?
radio waves
When the police officer uses radar for speed control the officer is using what kind of electromagnetic waves?
radio waves
How does the seismogragh work?
A seismograph uses electromagnetic sensors to measure seismic waves in order to detect earthquakes that are too small to feel, as well as detecting and tracking other phenomena.
Are radars and chronometers alike?
No. RADAR stands for RAdio Direction And Ranging. RADAR uses the reflection of pulses of radio waves from objects to measure the direction and range (distance) of the objects from the RADAR unit. Some RADAR units also measure relative speed by measuring the Doppler frequency shift. Chronometers are simply very precise clocks.
What are the different Types of radar?
radars are of two types pulsed and continuous wave radar. pulsed radar has its carrier pulse modulated used for detecting stationary objects continuous radar uses direct sine wave for transmitting and is used for moving targets there are types such as weather, and aircraft.
What type of wave uses a radar?
Radars operate in the radio end of the em spectrum.
Can radars be solar powered?
Sure. Radar usually uses a lot of power but there is no reason not to otherwise.
