What else can I help you with?
Do satellites normally use microwaves or radio waves?
Microwaves are radio waves.Most satellites communicate in microwave radio frequency bands.
Which type of electromagnetic wave is used to communicate with a satellite in space?
Microwaves are typically used to communicate with satellites in space due to their ability to penetrate Earth's atmosphere and transmit data over long distances reliably.
What type of wavelength are commonly used to communicate with satellites?
Microwaves are commonly used to communicate with satellites due to their ability to penetrate the Earth's atmosphere and transmit data over long distances. This frequency range is well-suited for satellite communication because it can effectively transmit signals without being significantly attenuated by the atmosphere.
How do satellites communicate with people on earth?
by telephone
How do satellites help us learn about the shape of the seafloor?
By bouncing microwaves off the ocean surface.
Are radio waves used to communicate with satellites?
Yes
What remote sensing devices uses a system of 27 satellites that transmit microwaves?
The remote sensing device that uses a system of 27 satellites transmitting microwaves is the Global Positioning System (GPS). These satellites orbit the Earth and provide location and timing information to GPS receivers on the ground. By analyzing the microwave signals received from multiple satellites, GPS receivers can calculate precise positions anywhere on Earth.
Why do satellites use microwave frequencies?
Microwaves travel in a straight line making them easy to send and receive.
Why do scientists send microwaves into space?
Radio telescopes have beamed messages destined to be picked up by other civilisations. The programme ,SETI is ongoing and the Aricibo Dish in Puerto Rico was used for this purpose. The NASA deep space network used microwaves to communicate with the Apollo astronauts and do today to speak to the international Space Station TV broadcasters send microwaves into space, the signals are received by geostationary satellites to beam the programmes down to Earth to cover a whole country
What type of wave is used to communicate with satellites?
Electromagnetic waves, specifically radio waves, are commonly used to communicate with satellites. These waves travel through the vacuum of space and can transmit information over long distances.
Do remotes have microwaves in them?
no, remotes tend to use infra red blasts to communicate with a reciever, such as the TV
What do satelllites detect?
Satellites pick up different wave lengths (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wavelength) usually they are microwaves.
