What else can I help you with?
radio waves heading upward from earth often bounce off the ____.?
ionosphere
Radio waves headed upward from earth often bounce off the?
thermosphere-apex
What do radio waves bounce off?
Radio waves are reflected by many solid objects, such as wood, stone, and notably metal, allowing the use of microwaves in radar applications.Also importantly in broadcast radio, the ionosphere (an upper layer of the Earth's atmosphere) can bounce signals back down to locations beyond the line-of-sight horizon.
What layer of the atmosphere do radio waves heading upward from earth often bounce off?
The Ionosphere reflects longer radio waves back to Earth. It varies in height going up at night giving the waves a long distance bounce.Flat vertical walls. Better refraction will Non-ferous metals. Horizontal plan will distort the image of the wave.\ CIV
Can radio waves bounce off stars?
Yes they can
Part of atmosphere used to bounce shortwave radio waves?
Radio waves bounce off of the ionosphere and return back to Earth.

Why is the ionosphere important for communication?
It is what radio waves bounce off of.

What keeps radio waves and such from soaring off of earth into space?
Actually, radio waves do go out into space. However, depending on frequency, they do tend to bounce off of the ionosphere, which is why lower frequency waves such as AM and longwave have greater (on Earth) range than higher frequency waves, such as FM or microwave.
Can radio waves bounce off stars?
Yes they can
Radio waves heading up from Earth often bounce off the?
it is the thremosphere i am taking the apexvs text and i got it right
How do very long radio waves reach stations beyond the curvature of the Earth?
Radio waves, like all forms of electro magnetic radiation are affected by gravity, so the Earth's mass helps to bend the radio waves to an extent. Beyond that, radio waves can be reflected naturally by atmospheric conditions, but generally, when a radio signal needs to be transmitted a significant distance, it is done by a series of radio towers in relay.AnswerThe condition is called 'skip'. The waves bounce off the ionisphere and back to earth way past the curvature.
What are some interesting facts about radio waves?
Discovered by a man named James MaxwellInteresting facts about radio waves.1) They can bounce around the earth.2) They can bounce off of clouds.3) They can travel great distances with very little power. Look up QRP in Wikipedia.4) You can talk to space craft hovering out in space with radio waves.5) You can transmit, and receive voice, and data in the form of pictures, video, and typed print.6) You can bounce them off of the moon, and hear the ones that return to you.7) You can bounce them off of Mars, and hear the ones that return to you.8) You can bounce them off of Venus, and hear the ones that return to you.9) You can bounce them off of rainstorms, airplanes, and tornado's, and hearthe ones that return to you.10) You can use them to quickly warm up a piece of leftover meatloaf.11) They travel at the same speed that light does.12) They're the fastest possible way to move information from here to there.To learn a lot more about radio waves, visit your local Amateur Radio club. Better yet, become an Amateur Radio operator. They help support communications in times of disaster. It can be a very rewarding hobby as well. You will meet lots of smart, and friendly people who all share your interest.
Which has a higher frequencies am radio waves or fm radio waves?
FM radio has the higher frequency which is why it sounds better. AM is a lower frequency but can travel further because the waves bounce off
