Which electromagnetic waves are used for communication in space?
Radio waves are predominantly used for communication in space due to their long wavelengths that enable them to travel long distances without much interference. These waves are able to penetrate Earth's atmosphere and travel through space to reach distant spacecraft and satellites.
What is a device used to detect radio waves in space?
RADAR
How are radio waves used to detect objects in space?
radar
What type of wave can move through space?
Light waves do, but sound waves cannot, because in space is no medium to carry the vibration. Radio, TV and others can travel in space also.
What is a device used to detect radio waves from objects in space?
Radio Telescope
What type of wave is used to communicate with satellites?
Electromagnetic waves, specifically radio waves, are commonly used to communicate with satellites. These waves travel through the vacuum of space and can transmit information over long distances.
Can sound waves be used to propel a ship through space?
Sound waves cannot be used to propel a ship through space because sound requires a medium, such as air or water, to travel through. In the vacuum of space, where there is no air or other medium, sound waves cannot propagate. Propulsion in space relies on different principles, such as Newton’s third law of motion, where thrust is generated through the expulsion of mass, typically utilizing rocket engines. Therefore, sound waves are not a viable means of propulsion in the vacuum of space.
Can Seismic waves travel through space?
NO! Seismic waves can't travel through space. They are mechanical waves. Mechanical waves require going through mediums and there isn't a medium in space.
Waves that are used in radar?
Electromagnetic waves with a wavelength from a mm up to a few cm are used in radar. They will be reflected from a discontinuity in the electromagnet properties of space. e.g. a metal surface.
Why can sonar systems never be used in space?
because they are used for under water sounds and a radar is used in space. Sonar means SOund Navigation And Ranging for underwater. Radar picks up radio waves for above water including space.
What 3 waves cannot travel through space?
Waves that rely on a medium may not travel through space. These would include longitudinal waves, shear waves, and sound waves.
What type of waves travel through space?
Sound waves cannot travel through space.
