What happens to signal's wavelength as its frequency increases?
Wiki User

Using the relationship C = n lambda
C - velocity of light, n-frequency of radiation and lambda- the wavelength.
So as frequency increases definitely its wavelength decreases.

When rf signals move around an object in their paths what is the phenomenon called?
By "rf signals", the question is referring to "radio frequency waves", "radio waves", or "waves" in general. This phenomenon, unique to waves, is called diffraction. Higher frequency waves diffract less than lower frequency waves. This is why you hear the bass through walls or cars when you can't hear the treble. This also happens with waves of any kind, such as liquids. AM frequency radio is generally better for cities with big buildings because the waves have a lower intensity, and therefore can "warp around" the buildings. FM frequency radio does not "wrap around" as well.
Can gps signals travel underwater?
No. The GPS signal is high-frequency radio waves. High frequency radio waves cannot travel through water.
Why L1 is chosen 1575.42MHz for GPS signal?
I am just going through some of the physics myself, but if i understand it properly, the higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength the less likely it is that the wave will bounce around keeping signals accurate. With the increased accuracy comes the use of gps in navigation for weapons and other sorts of things they don't want impacting in the wrong place. With 4 satelites or 3 satelites and a ground station at that frequency they should be able to pinpoint something down to a few millimeters.
What happens to the radiosonde after a weather balloon bursts?
it floats in the air and stops transmitting signals
What determines color order of visible light in the electromagnetic spectrum?
The colours are determined by the wavelengths of the light. How they are perceived depends on the brain interpreting the signals from the retina.
What is the formula for finding the frequency of a wave?
The wavelength of a wave is calculated using the formula: Wavelength = speed of the wave divided by the frequency of the wave. For radio waves and other wireless signals as well as the speed a signal travels along a wire, the speed of the wave is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second (the speed of light).
Which of the three multiplexing techniques are used to combine analog signals?
Frequency-division multiplexing and wavelength-division multiplexing
A low energy electromagnetic wave would also have?
the lowest frequency Lester was here
If a spacecraft is approaching the earth relative to the radio signals it send out the signal received on the earth have?
Shorter wavelength, higher frequency.
How radio communicate works?
Radio communication works on radio signals that are "beamed" into the air on a certain frequency. Frequency is a certain wavelength or band. The receiving equipment has to be set to receive the signal on the same frequency.
How do waves carry signals?
Waves can be varied (modulated) by either changing amplitude (amplitude modulation AM) or changing frequency (wavelength) (frequency modulation FM). The modulations are used to carry the information signal.
Which is shortest frequency 10mhz 100mhz 1ghz 100ghz?
100MHz Wavelength(m) is inversely proportional to frequency (Hz) Use the equation λ=v/f (Wavelength=velocity/frequency) For the velocity just use the value 1 as since both waves will be through the same medium it doesn't matter 0.000001m = 1ms-1 / 10,000,000Hz 0.0000001m = 1ms-1 / 100,000,000Hz
Which of the three multiplexing techniques arre used to combine digital signals?
Frequency-division multiplexing, wavelength-division multiplexing, and time-division multiplexing.
What kind do wavelength do television signals have?
Long
What is the definition of the word 'multiplexing'?
Multiplexing is the process of combining multiple signals over one media line. There are several types of multiplexing: frequency division, time division, and wavelength division.
Why do FDM/FM microwave systems use low-index FM In microwave radio communications and system gain?
FM/FDM systems are commonly used in microwave wireless communications because they allow for different frequencies to be assigned to different signals, which means that a large number of signals can be transmitted on the same frequency band. This increases network traffic density without interference between different signals. The properly tuned low gain small system provides additional capability to transmit signals without interfering with other signals in the same frequency band. This increases the efficiency of licensed frequency use, allowing for high-speed and higher-quality data transmission.
What is the maximum frequency of AM signals?
The Max Frequency of Am signal is 1620KHz
