What do AM waves and FM waves have in common?
Both are radio waves, meaning that they are electromagnetic radiation (light) with a wavelength longer than a metre. AM waves have a frequency of 520,000 Hz to 1,620,000 Hz (wavelengths of 580 metres to 185 metres) while FM waves have a frequency of 87,500,000 Hz to 108,000,000 Hz (3.4 metres to 2.8 metres). The signal is encoded onto AM waves by varying the amplitude (intensity) and onto FM waves by varying the frequency.
How are AM and FM waves different?
In FM, which is frequency modulaton, the information is "put onto" the radio waves by varying the frequency of the wave. In AM, which is amplitude modulation, the information is "put onto" the radio waves by varying the amplitude of the wave.
Sound of pigeon?
Pigeons and doves make cooing sounds, varying by species.
What makes Elton John weird?
In the 70's and 80's, when performing live, he dressed very eccentrically, varying from military costumes to feathered jackets. He also had the strangest glasses/sunglasses, with varying glass tints and outlandish frames.
Do you get the same musical scale in different octaves?
Yes, the octaves are the same notes but in varying pitches.
What forms of energy travels in varying wavelengths such as visible light infrared waves radio waves ultraviolet waves and X-rays?
Electromagnetic energy
What forms of energy travels in varying wavelengths such as visible light infrared waves radio waves ultraviolet waves and X rays?
Electromagnetic energy
What are the three wavelengths that are shorter than visible light?
There are an infinite number of wavelengths above visible, below visible, and within visible. Since reality has infinite resolution, we can imagine varying the wavelength with infinite division. To call out bands of wavelength: Ultraviolet, X-rays, & Gamma rays.
What are the two forms of electromagnetic radiation that experience the least atmospheric opacity?
There is a spectrum of electromagnetic radiation varying from small wavelengths (high frequency and energy) like gamma rays and x-rays to visible light (in the mid to lower end of the spectrum) to long wavelengths like radio waves etc.
What form does sound travel?
sound travels in longitudinal waves of varying pressures. Kind of like this: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Why is OH absorption of alcohols and phenols characterised by a broad peak in infrared spectrometry?
If a significant quantity of a compound is being analysed, a very large number of individual molecules will be present. The hydrogen bonds are formed in different ways and they absorb infrared radiation at varying frequencies. This results in a broad peak.
Is the moon half because of a shodow?
No. The moon is a sphere that travels once around the Earth every 29.5 days. As it does so, it is illuminated from varying angles by the sun.
Why is chromatic aberration a problem for astronomers?
When light of different wavelengths is scattered sightly due to differences in how the light reacts to the optics of the system. when light of different wavelengths are scattered slightly due to differences in how the light reacts to the optics of the system
What is squat and settlement of a vessel?
When a vessel travels through the water it raises or sinks slightly relative to when it is not moving. This change in how the vessel sits in the water at varying speeds is referred to as the Settlement and Squat.
How much gas does a car use in one day?
A car can use varying amounts of gas in one day. It pretty much depends on the load the car is carrying and how far the car travels in one day.
Is ultraviolet radiation matter?
Matter is anything with volume and mass...if it takes up space and has mass and is composed of atoms and molecules it is matter. Radiation comes in many forms that are absorbed in electron transitions at varying rates. For example, in the lower ultraviolet range all the uv from the sun is absorbed in a thin outer layer of your skin. Radiation is a form of energy that reacts with matter, but not a form of matter in and of itself.
Why do objects appear the color they are?
It's a matter of selective absorption and reflection of the varying wavelengths of light. Our eyes and brain work together to interpret the different wavelengths of light as different colors. White light is composed of all possible wavelengths of visible light, and sunlight is very nearly white. Characteristics of various surfaces cause them to reflect or absorb certain wavelengths. The ones that are reflected to our eyes are what determine the color we perceive. To cite just a single example, if a ball is red, it reflects red light and absorbs the other colors. That's why it appears red. The issue is slightly different for a source of light, and the answer speaks to all other things we see and the colors they appear to have.
