What characteristic of the ionosphere enables radio active waves?

The ionosphere has nothing to do with radioactivity, and there is nothing in nature that is called a "radio active wave."
Because the ionosphere contains electrical charges, it is able to reflect radio waves.

Does AM radio travel through the ionosphere?
Any Amplitude Modulated radio signal will penetrate the ionosphere if its carrier frequency is high enough. Signals in the commercial AM broadcast band, with frequencies between 530 and 1700 KHz, aren't high enough. Most of their energy reflects from the ionosphere.
how does layer of ionosphere affects in the propagation of radio waves?
By acting as a reflector.
AM radio waves are able to traves farther than FM radio waves because?
AM waves are reflected by earth's ionosphere
How are radio waves affected in the atmosphere?
I dont think they do, Radio waves diffract less and arn't affected by the ionosphere which is the upper part of the atmosphere. Most electromagnetic waves are affected severely by the atmosphere, which is a good thing due to the strength they carry EXCEPT microwaves *Apparantly*.
What elements give off small particles?
radio active
What characteristics of the ionosphere enable radio waves?
The ionosphere has nothing to do with radioactivity, and there is nothing in nature that is called a "radio active wave."Because the ionosphere contains electrical charges, it is able to reflect radio waves.
Which Atmospheric layer reflects radio wave?
It is the ionosphere, a general region that includes all of the thermosphere and parts of the two bordering layers. In this region, between 60 and 1000 kilometers above the Earth, ionized particles refract and reflect radio waves back toward the ground. This enables radio transmissions that are normally "line of sight" only to reach over the horizon for hundreds or thousands of miles. This includes broadcast radio (HF) and shortwave bands.
Which layer of atmosphere reflects radioactive waves?
It's not radio active waves; it's just radio waves. It's called the Ionosphere and depending on what layer of the Ionosphere it changes how far you can talk
What important quality does the ionosphere?
the ionosphere is important is the it is in the thermosphere
This layer is responsible for the possibility of radio communication?
The Ionosphere
The region of the atmosphere that reflects radio signals is the?
The Ionosphere.
Radio waves bounce and return to earth?
The Radio waves are reflected back to Earth in the Ionosphere.
What layer of the atmosphere reflects radio waves?
the ionosphere.
What level of atmosphere bounces off radio waves off of the earth?
Radio waves are in all parts of the atmosphere. Some, but not all, radio waves are reflected from the ionosphere, permitting transmission over greater distances.
Radio signals are bounced back to earth by this layer?
ionosphere <novanet>
What can be found in the ionosphere?
Radio Waves.
Why do we need the Ionosphere?
The Ionosphere helps "bounce" radio waves across great distances.
