Where is the 984 in the formula for calculating antenna wavelength come from?

Wavelength = (speed of light) divided by (frequency) Wavelength = (300,000,000 meters/second) divided by (frequency) If the frequency is 1 MHz, then wavelength = (300,000,000 / 1,000,000) = 300 meters = 984 feet A smart engineer calculated the magic number 984 so that you could do all your arithmetic in megahertz and feet, instead of hertz and meters.

How to calculate the counter weight of the belt conveyor?
To calculate the counter weight just simply use this formula V3x (-)> 3.16 + belt radius = weight it took me 14 days to come up with this theory use it wisely Please and thank you.
Why must a satellite have a distinct up link and down link frequencies?
These are frequencies used for satellite communications. Usually in the Gigahertz bands. Uplink is on a differenct channel to downlink, to avoid interferece. The Uplink, is the signal sent to the satellite, via a dish antenna, which focuses the signal in the direction of the satellite. On board the satellite, this signal is changed and re-transmitted, on a different frequency (Downlink), and beamed back to earth. This way huge distances can be covered on earth, despite the curvature and with minimal power.
What voltage is applied to a 4 ohm resistor of the current is 1.5 amps?
It all depends on the load. The formula for calculating amps, volts or ohms (resistance of load) is E=IR, where E is the voltage, I is the current and R is the load or circuit resistance. So, if you know the resistance in ohms and the current in amps, you multiply them together to get the voltage of the circuit. Again, it depends on the load, so a 12 volt car battery can deliver 1.5 amps if the load is 8 ohms whereas a 120 volt circuit will deliver 1.5 amps if the load is 80 ohms. This is all simplified and is based on a resistive load. If the load is capacitive or inductive, then phase angles come into play and the math is more complicated using imaginary numbers and J-operators.
What is the time for the TV signal to come from the TV mast to your TV set?
The signal will move down the cable at from about 1/3 the speed of light to about 9/10 the speed of light, depending on the type of cable used. If there is a booster amplifier in the cable between the antenna and the TV set this will add more delay. You will need to know the length and types of cable used (and look up their signal propagation speed) as well as the delay of your booster amplifier if your system has one to calculate the answer to your question.

What do radio waves come out of?
They come out of a transmitter, usually through an antenna system.
How long should an antenna be to absorb radio waves well and red light?
A vertical antenna, like a piece of wire, connected directly to the radio, works well if it's 1/4 of the wavelength of the signal being received. If it's a horizontal wire hanging between a couple of trees, with a coaxial cable connected to a gap in the middle of the wire, then it works best when its overall end-to-end length is around 1/2 of the wavelength. 1/4 wavelength in feet is around: (246) divided by (frequency of the signal in MHz) 1/2 wavelength in feet is around: (492) divided by (frequency of the signal in MHz) The frequency of red light is around 462,000,000 MHz. So for good efficiency, the half-wave antenna should be about 0.00000107 foot long, or 0.0000128 inch. If you have a radio receiver capable of tuning to the frequency of red, I'll personally come help you trim the half-wave antenna to pick it up. In fact, I'll build you a by-George 100-element Yagi !
How do you change the power antenna on an 87 buick regal?
Remove the wiring harness from the bottom of your 1987 Buick Regal power antenna. Remove the power antenna retaining nuts. The power antenna will come off. Reverse the process to install the new power antenna.
When you key up your mic the red antenna light does NOT come on as soon as you talk it does Why?
Some transmission modes send no power to the antenna if you are not speaking. If the antenna light is sensing radio frequency energy, it will come on only when you speak. This applies to single sideband (SSB). AM and FM transmitters send power to the antenna all the time.
Does the PS3 have an antennae?
