The question should probably read "What do waves have to do with satellites". Assuming you're asking about the communication satellites in orbit around the earth, the signals that send the information to the satallites and back to the earth are called radio waves or micro waves. This looks like it will explain the concept. http://www.ieee-virtual-museum.org/exhibit/exhibit.php?taid=&id=159265&lid=1&seq=11&view=

A method of sending energy waves from a satellite to an area of earth being observed is?

One method is for the satellite to use electromagnetic waves, such as microwaves or radio waves, to transmit energy to the Earth's surface. These waves can carry information back to the satellite, enabling observation of the target area.


What satellite dishes beam radio waves to satellites above the Earth?

Satellite dishes that beam radio waves to satellites above the Earth are typically referred to as ground stations or satellite uplink dishes. These dishes are designed to transmit signals to satellites in geostationary or low Earth orbits, enabling communication for television broadcasting, internet services, and other data transmission. They usually have a parabolic shape to focus the radio waves into a narrow beam directed towards the satellite.


Do satellite stations emit radiation?

If the satellite is to have ANY communications, usually with Earth, it must use radio waves, or some other radiation, so yes.


What sends data to a satellite?

A transmitter sends data to a satellite, typically using radio waves. The data is transmitted from a ground station, a vehicle, or a mobile device to the satellite, which then relays the information to other satellites or back down to Earth.


What types of energy does a satellite use?

A satellite primarily uses solar energy to power its onboard systems and instruments. Solar panels mounted on the satellite's surface convert sunlight into electricity. Some satellites may also utilize small batteries for energy storage during periods when they are not in direct sunlight.

How are pictures from TV stations transmitted to your homes?

It transmittes from a satellite far away to your satellite. It is like sound waves travelling throughout the world except it is the satellite transmitting waves to your satellite. The satellite is connected to a wire that leads from a satellite. That is how you watch you favourite TV shows!


Is radio waves the same as satellite waves?

acording to what I found yes

How are satellite pictures of earth and other planets made and transmitted?

Satellite pictures are taken through the satellite and sent to Earth via satellite waves.


What type of cable is used for satellite connections?

Cables are not used, the satellite emits radio waves


What kind of waves are used in satellite transmission?

Radio waves - in the microwave section of the electromagnetic spectrum.


What is frequency of a satellite wave?

I never heard of a "satellite wave". If you mean the radio waves used by satellites for communication - well, like all radio waves used for such purposes, there is probably a large range of waves they can use.


What kind of signal is used in a GPS satellite?

radio waves


How do sound waves travel to a satellite?

Sound waves require a medium to travel through, and, since space is a vacuum, sound waves can't travel in it.


Will a radio control car cause interference with my satellite TV?

No,it should be fine as a satellite is more prone to open waves then a car radio


What is passive satellite?

A satellite that simply reflects light or radio waves transmitted from one ground station to another without any amplification or retransmission.
