Want this question answered?
Inches (microwave) vs. Feet (Radar).
A radar that the police use to detect stuff.
The wavelength used in the microwave oven is about 12 centimeters. (rounded) In the early days, there were radar systems that used wavelengths longer than that, but there haven't been any for several decades now.
Roughly within an order of magnitude or so, either way.
The wavelength of any frequency can be found using the fact that w*f = c, where w is the wavelength, f is the frequency, and c is the speed of light.
Radar has the longer wavelength.

Basically there are no physical limitations of wavelength where a RADAR unit may operate, thereby it can operate practically on any wavelength from ELF (extremely low frequency) where wavelength can be as high as several hundreds kilometers or in Optical band like Laser RADAR (LADAR) who have wavelength of some microns . The limitations of RADAR operating wavelength is in their geometrical size of devices (transmitters, antennas and Receivers) required to produce such wavelength and their utilization . The following list is typical wavelength used by RADAR applications Search and Early Warning RADAR : >1- 10cm wavelength (HF- C band) Target Tracking RADAR : <10 cm Wavelength (C-band till milimmetric waveband) hope this helps
No. Radar use electromagnetic radiation of a much longer wavelength
There is a device called a radar detector, but it will only detect a radar signal, not police in general.
A scanning wavelength that can penetrate cloud cover is called radar. When the wave hits a solid surface, such as a plane, it bounces a signal back to the radar unit.
i don't the answer
It is not a requirement to show RADAR readings in Illinois.
The wavelength used in the microwave oven is about 12 centimeters. (rounded) In the early days, there were radar systems that used wavelengths longer than that, but there haven't been any for several decades now.
Having a radar detector will alert you when a Police Car with its speed radar is near. The Radar Detectors will produce an audible signal alerting you of this, and will do so far in advance of when you are able to see the Police Car.
