Radio and tv signals are reflected back to earth in witch layer?
The ionosphere reflects radio waves back to Earth. Actually I heard it is refraction, not reflection; but the term "reflection" is commonly used.
Layer of charged particles above earth?
The layer of charged particles in Earth's atmosphere is called the ionosphere. The most famous application of this layer is AM radio, which bounces its waves off of the ionosphere for radio receivers to use.
What is the outermost and biggest layer of earth atmosphere?
The ionosphere there are particles called ions in the ionosphere (hens the name). The ions cause radio waves from am radio stations to bounce off of it.
What tool is used to tell through earthquake waves about the inside of the Earth?
A sizemograph is used to mesure the sizemic waves under the earths surface
How did scientists figure that the earth was made of layers?
Scientists used seismic waves to discover the layers of Earth.
Why are satellite used to relay radio waves?
Satellites are used to relay radio waves to the other side of the world because radio waves cannot travel directly through the Earth.
Part of atmosphere used to bounce shortwave radio waves?
Radio waves bounce off of the ionosphere and return back to Earth.
Does the ionosphere bend radio waves back toward the earth?
it refracts the radio waves back towards the earth
Neither X rays nor radio waves can penetrate the earth's atmosphere?
False. For some bands of radio waves the atmosphere is transparent. Radio waves can penetrate to the ground. That's why we have radio telescopes on the Earth.
AM radio waves are able to traves farther than FM radio waves because?
AM waves are reflected by earth's ionosphere
Radio waves bounce and return to earth?
The Radio waves are reflected back to Earth in the Ionosphere.
How do you communicate to earth from space?
radio waves
How do you communicate earth to space?
radio waves
What layer of the atmosphere send radio waves back to earth?
The troposphere... It acts like a gigantic mirror - reflecting radio waves back to Earth.
Are radio waves able to reach the earth?
Yes. This is used all the time by ground-based radio telescopes, which observe outer space.
What waves that are used in radar?
Electromagnetic waves.
radio waves heading upward from earth often bounce off the ____.?
ionosphere
