for wavelength, the longer of the two is visible light, but the longest type of rays are radio waves (some of them have a wavelength as long as a football field)

Why do we use radio waves in radar why not other waves?
"Radar" comes from RAdio Detection And Ranging. If it didn't use radio it would be called something else.LIDAR (LIght Detection And Ranging) is laser instead of radio. That uses light.
How does the frequency of radio waves compare with the frequency of visible light?
The radio wave part of the spectrum is very wide. The extreme ends are, roughly,15km ( used for communicating with submerged submarines)1 mm ( used for research, and possibly for radar)The visible spectrum covers only a 2:1 range of wavelengths. It is centred on the colour yellow, with a wavelength ~= 700nm.The very shortest of the radio waves is about 1000 times as long as yellow light.

Radio detection and raging is known by what acronym?
radar radar
Who plays radar on mash?

What are the regions of electromagnetic spectrum?
Radio waves, Radar, Microwaves, Infared, Ultraviolet, X-rays, and Gamma Rays
All Electromagnetic radiation?
Transverse waves
What determines location of precipitation and clouds?
A combination of visible light imagery and weather radar.
Which waves have lower frequency radar waves or visible waves?
Radar waves have a lower frequency that light waves.The frequency of a light wave is related to wavelength and speed by the equation c = »½. The color of a light wave is also determined by the frequency. The amplitude and brightness are not related to the frequency.
Are radar waves too long to be seen?
Yes. The visible spectrum of light is much shorter than the shortest radar (radio) wave.
Can someone give Examples of devices that need to reflect light to work?
Mirrors. Lasers. Interferometers. Radar (just not visible light).
What are the uses of electromagnetic radiations?
Radio waves, RADAR, microwaves, visible light, UV rays, and X-rays.
Is the visible light spectrum between radar waves and xrays?
Yes, radar waves are radio waves and too long for the eye to see (off the red end of the visible spectrum) and X rays are too short to see (off the blue/violet end of the visible spectrum).
What radar detector has the longest range?
The Valentine One Radar Detector has the longest effective range. The Valentine brand offers radar detectors with the best range.
What instrument is used to monitor weather conditions from the outer space?
Many instruments can be used The visible light spectrum cameras Infrared cameras Spectrometers Radar
What makes a stealth plane unable to be seen on radar?
Stealth aircraft are extremely hard to detect on radar because they use a variety of advanced technologies that reduce reflection/emission of radar, infrared, visible light, radio-frequency spectrum, and audio. Early stealth aircraft were aerodynamically unstable.
How do satellites see through clouds?
Using an imaging radar. Also known as Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR).
