To oversimplify it, the ionosphere either reflect microwaves or allows it to pass through depending upon its frequency, the threshold is approximately 100MHz. Anything below that gets reflected anything higher passes through.

Which type of waves is not reflected by the ionosphere?

Microwaves are not reflected by the ionosphere because their wavelengths are too short for the ionosphere to effectively reflect them. This is why microwaves are commonly used for satellite communication, as they can pass through the ionosphere to reach satellites in space.


Which type of electromagnet radiation is used in satellite communication networks?

Microwaves. These poke through the ionosphere to reach the satellite


How microwave penatrates through ionosphere?

Microwaves penetrate through the ionosphere because they have short wavelengths that can pass through the charged particles in the ionosphere, such as free electrons and ions. These charged particles can absorb and scatter longer wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation like radio waves, but shorter microwaves are able to pass through more easily.


What can be found in the form of waves or signals in both exosphere and ionosphere.?

In both the exosphere and ionosphere, you can find electromagnetic waves or signals. These can include radio waves, microwaves, and other forms of electromagnetic radiation. The ionosphere specifically can reflect and refract these waves, allowing long-distance communication via bounce or propagation.


What do radio waves bounce off?

Radio waves are reflected by many solid objects, such as wood, stone, and notably metal, allowing the use of microwaves in radar applications.Also importantly in broadcast radio, the ionosphere (an upper layer of the Earth's atmosphere) can bounce signals back down to locations beyond the line-of-sight horizon.


The region of the atmosphere that reflects radio signals is the?

The Ionosphere.
