Best Answer

Water affects the travel of radio frequency in terms of attenuation. For example, sea water has high attenuation, causing communication hardly possible.

Can gps signals travel underwater?

No. The GPS signal is high-frequency radio waves. High frequency radio waves cannot travel through water.


Can radio signal travel through salt water?

Radio signals can travel through salt water.


What radio wave frequency is used to ignite water?

14 megahertz


What type of wave has the has the lowest frequency?

Radio waves in electromagnetic waves/water waves


Can radio waves travel through air?

Of course, they are similar to visible light waves, just a different wavelength and frequency. Indeed, many electromagnetic waves (radio waves) can travel through solid objects and water depending on the frequency and the medium through which they travel. If radio waves couldn't travel through the atmosphere, your radio wouldn't receive a signal, hence no music.


How does a decrease in velocity affect the frequency and wavelength of the waves entering the shallow water?

The frequency stays the same and wavelength decreases


Can a high frequency carrier wave travel longer distance than low frequency carrier wave?

High frequency radio waves over ~100 MHz will usually travel only in a straight line - hence these applications are called 'line of sight'. Waves of lower frequency, say 500KHz to 30MHz (rough values only) are bounced off the ionosphere and can travel round the world. Waves of very low frequency, 10 KHz to 20KHz, can penetrate sea water, and are used to communicate with subs. But they are of such low frequency that they can carry no effective modulation other than ON or OFF. But they can do a job that nothing else can do.


What does the word channel mean?

A radio or T.V. frequency. An area of water that joins two larger areas of water, such as the English Channel.


What is the difference between radio frequency and audio frequency?

They terms frequency are essentially the same, except radio waves are electromagnetic, and acoustic waves are pressure waves. An audio frequency is a range of frequencies that we can hear, approx up to 20Khz, anything past 20Khz is said to be radio waves


Does the depth density of water affect sound underwater?

It makes the sound travel further


What is the difference between radio waves and sound from a radio?

No, a radio wave is not a mechanical wave. A radio wave is a form of electromagnetic (EM) energy, and it does not require a medium through which to travel like a mechanical wave does. Radio waves can travel through the vacuum of space. Let's contrast that with a mechanical wave.A mechanical wave involves the transfer of mechanical energy into and through a medium. Sound waves (which travel through air) and water waves (which move through water) are mechanical waves. They cannot travel without a medium through which to move.


When the frequency of the source of a water wave increases the speed of the waves traveling in the water increases. Is this a true or false statement?

The statement, when the frequency of the source of a water wave increases the speed of the waves traveling in the water increases is true. It is stated that sound will travel through the water at 20 degrees Celsius faster than water at 80 degrees.
