What determine the size of waves?
The force and speed of wind will determine how little and big the waves are.
Why is it not possible to use sonar to determine the speed of an object travelling faster than the speed of sound?
Sonar uses sound waves to measure distances by calculating the time it takes for the sound waves to bounce back. However, when an object is traveling faster than the speed of sound, the sound waves emitted by the sonar system cannot catch up with the object to bounce back, making it impossible to accurately determine the speed of the object using sonar.
What kind of radio waves bounce off an object to determine its speed and location?
radar
How is radar used to determine the speed of a car?
A beam of electromagnetic waves is bounced off the car
What is the average speed of primary waves?
The average speed of primary waves (P-waves) in the Earth's crust is around 6-7 kilometers per second (km/s). They travel faster than secondary waves (S-waves) and surface waves, making them the first to be detected during an earthquake.
How does the speed of radio waves compare with the speed of infrared waves?
Radio waves travel at the speed of light, which is the fastest speed possible in a vacuum. Infrared waves also travel at the speed of light, so both types of waves travel at the same speed.
What is raddar?
Radar is an object-detection system that uses radio waves to determine the range, altitude, direction, or speed of objects
Which three factors determine how high the waves in a place will be?
the lenght of the waves , strenght of the waves and the duration o the high waves determine how high the waves in a place will be
How s waves and p waves used to determine how far away epicenter?
S-waves (secondary waves) and P-waves (primary waves) are used to determine the distance to an earthquake's epicenter by analyzing their arrival times at seismic stations. P-waves travel faster than S-waves, so the difference in arrival times between the two waves can be measured. By calculating this time difference and knowing the speed of both types of waves, seismologists can determine how far the waves have traveled, which helps pinpoint the epicenter's distance. This information is then used in conjunction with data from multiple seismic stations to triangulate the exact location of the epicenter.
How does the speed of radio waves compare with the speed of infrared waves?
Radio waves travel at the speed of light, which is approximately 300,000 kilometers per second in a vacuum. Infrared waves also travel at the speed of light, so both types of waves travel at the same speed.
What factors determine the size of waves?
The size of waves is determined by factors such as wind speed, wind duration, and the fetch (the distance over which the wind blows). The longer and stronger the wind blows over a larger area of water, the bigger the waves will be.
How could you determine the speed of a wave?
The details will depend on the type of wave. For example, for a water wave, you might observe it - use a stopwatch to watch how long it takes for a wave crest to go from one clearly marked point to another one. Measure the distance, and divide distance by time.
