No. RADAR is an acronym for RAdio Detection And Ranging. It is a "RAdio" or electromagnetic wave that propagates through space at the speed of light. Detection of an object is accomplished by listening for a reflection from the last broadcast pulse. The range of an object is determined by knowing how long a reflection from the last pulse takes to return to the antenna. Direction and velocity of an object can be determined by calculating a vector from two pulses.
The velocity of an object can also be determined by the Doppler shift of the signal, but the object must be traveling directly toward or away from the antenna in order to measure the velocity accurately. This is how police RADAR works.
===========================
To answer the question: No.
To elaborate: Radar uses radio waves, which are electromagnetic waves.
What else can I help you with?
Is radar wave mechanical?
No. As you might guess from the name, radar uses radio waves. Radio waves, in turn, are a type of electromagnetic wave - in other words, in principle similar to light waves.
Which waves have lower frequency radar waves or visible waves?
Radar waves have a lower frequency that light waves.The frequency of a light wave is related to wavelength and speed by the equation c = »½. The color of a light wave is also determined by the frequency. The amplitude and brightness are not related to the frequency.
What type of energy wave is used with the radar?
Radar uses radio waves, which are a type of electromagnetic energy wave, to detect the presence, direction, distance, and speed of objects.
Are radar waves too long to be seen?
Yes. The visible spectrum of light is much shorter than the shortest radar (radio) wave.
What wave is used in RADAR machines to clock the speed of cars?
RADAR = RAdio Detection And RangingRadio waves in the microwave band are used to measure the speed of cars using a technique called "Doppler RADAR", by measuring the change in frequency of the returned waves.These waves are electromagnetic waves.
What another term for radar waves?
Another name for radar waves is radar systems or electromagnetic waves.
Which is a type of electromagnetic wave?
Sound waves aren't an electromagnetic wave. So aren't seismic waves. So aren't waves in the ocean, in your hair, or waves bye-bye.
When police office officer use radar for speed control the officer is using what kind of electromagnetic wave?
radio waves
How do satellites see through clouds?
Using an imaging radar. Also known as Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR).
What has the author Michael G Mattie written?
Michael G. Mattie has written: 'A system for using radar to record wave direction' -- subject(s): Water waves, Radar in hydrology
What is radar wave length?
Assuming you mean the wavelength: Radar can use electromagnetic waves of VERY different frequencies; see this section of "Radar" in Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar#Frequency_bandsThe list also includes the corresponding wavelengths; or you can divide the speed of light by the frequency.
