What else can I help you with?
Part of atmosphere used to bounce shortwave radio waves?
Radio waves bounce off of the ionosphere and return back to Earth.
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*.
Does radiowaves get through earths atmosphere?
Yes, radio waves can penetrate Earth's atmosphere. They are part of the electromagnetic spectrum and are able to pass through the atmosphere with minimal interference, which allows them to be used for various forms of communication, such as radio and television broadcasts.
Which part of your radio receivers the electromagnetic waves sent out from a radio station?
The antenna does that.
Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum is nearest to radio waves?
Microwaves are nearest to radio waves in the electromagnetic spectrum. They have slightly higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths compared to radio waves.
A gas in the upper part of earth and atmosphere?
The upper part of Earth's atmosphere primarily contains lighter gases, such as hydrogen and helium, along with trace amounts of other gases like ozone and carbon dioxide. This region, known as the thermosphere, extends from about 80 kilometers (50 miles) above Earth's surface to several hundred kilometers up. It plays a crucial role in absorbing solar radiation and is where phenomena like the auroras occur. Additionally, the ionosphere, part of the thermosphere, is important for radio communication as it reflects radio waves back to Earth.
Is radio waves a form of radiation?
Yes, radio waves are electromagnetic waves.They are in the part of the spectrum with the longer wavelengths, longer than microwaves, and visible light waves.
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum has the lowest frequency?
The part that we call "Extremely Low Frequency Radio Waves".
Which layer contains ions?
The ionosphere, which is part of the Earth's atmosphere, contains ions. The ionosphere is located in the thermosphere and is responsible for reflecting radio waves back to Earth and playing a role in the Earth's magnetic field.
Do radio waves have the shortest wavelegnth of all EM waves?
No. In fact, when people try to carve up the EM spectrum into categories and typesand classifications and then name each part, they usually wind up giving the name"radio waves" to the part with the longestwavelengths.
Is Radio waves are shorter than waves of visible light?
Yes, radio waves have a longer wavelength than visible light. They are part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
What kind of wave are electromagnetic waves?
radio waves
