Which type of waves is not reflected by the ionosphere?
ultraviolet light
What layer is hit by the sun's ultraviolet rays and cause the air particles to become electrically charged?
The ionosphere. To clarify, only the low-frequency radio waves incorrectly called "high-frequency" or "HF" of about 50MHz and below are reflected. "Very High Frequency" VHF signals are not reflected, but go straight off into space. For example, in the "AM" commercial broadcast spectrum, the transmission is reflected back to the Earth and is receivable for great distances, a phenomenon that used to be called "skip". AM signals are in the band of 550KHZ to 1.6 MHz. "FM" stations in the band from 88MHz to 108MHz are only received by "Line of sight" transmissions.
What does the ionosphere do to microwaves?
To oversimplify it, the ionosphere either reflect microwaves or allows it to pass through depending upon its frequency, the threshold is approximately 100MHz. Anything below that gets reflected anything higher passes through.
What energy wave do the sun give off?
solar and maybe ultraviolet -.-
What is the function of the ionosphere?
Electrically charged gas particle, Ionizeed, to help the transmition of radio wave. This is especially important for AM Radio Station
Which type of waves is not reflected by the ionosphere?
ultraviolet light
Type of radiation stopped in the ionosphere?
Some, not all, radio waves. The reflected ones are the ones used for short-wave radio.
What is the difference between the function of ozonosphere and stratosphere?
Ozonosphere has concentration of ozone, sufficient to block the ultraviolet radiation from sun. Thats why this layer of atmosphere called ozonosphere. Ionosphere, this layer enables wireless transmission, radio wave transmitted from earth, is reflected back to earth by these ions. The ionosphere is the top most layer of earth atmosphere usually its where the satelites hang around.
What is the result of a reflected sound wave?
The result of a reflected sound wave is obviously an echo.
The exosphere Is filled with electrically charged ions?
This is primarily the ionosphere that contains the ions.
Radio waves bounce and return to earth?
The Radio waves are reflected back to Earth in the Ionosphere.
Is an ultraviolet wave an electromagnetic wave?
Yes.
Wave velocity as it passes from air to ionosphere?
decreses
When a sound wave is reflected what do you hear?
When a sound wave is reflected, you hear an echo.
What is the layer of atmosphere where radio signals are reflected back to the earths surface?
The ionosphere bends radio waves . . . most go out into space, but a fair number hit the earth far away, and are reflected back up to the ionosphere. Radio operators call this phenomenon, "The skip".
Radio waves are reflected by the?
Good conductors like metals, the ionosphere, etc.
Can a ultraviolet ray be reflected bby a mirror?
yes
