How long does it take for a microwave radar signal to travel from Earth to the Moon and back?

Approximately 2.5 secs.
A 'microwave' is an electro-magnetic radiation, in the same manner as light, and uv. radiation.
Being an electro-magnetic radiation it will travel at the speed of light, which is 'c' = 3.8 x 10^8 m/s

What is a reflected radar signal called?
Returns.
What is Doppler radar and how is it used in weather prediction and forecasting?
A Doppler radar is a radar using the Doppler effect of the returned echoes from targets to measure their radial velocity. To be more specific the microwave signal sent by the radar antenna's directional beam is reflected toward the radar and compared in frequency, up or down from the original signal, allowing for the direct and highly accurate measurement of target velocity component in the direction of the beam.Recent weather radars process velocities of precipitations by Pulse-Doppler radar technique, on top of their intensities. This is a slightly different treatment of Doppler data that has been publicized so much in the United States that the term Doppler radar is often wrongly used by the public to mean weather radar.For more info see:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_radar
The type of electromagnetic wave you can cook with is?
-- infrared (heat) radiation, in the toaster -- infrared (heat), by conduction or convection, on the burner or in the oven -- microwave, by radiation, in the radar-oven
What technology is used to study earth?
Sonar, ground penetrating radar, electron microscopy, radiometric dating, deep sea submersibles, GPS, space travel, computer modeling, seismography; all have contributed to the advancement of knowledge and understanding in the field of geology. There are many more. Please feel free to add.
Which has the longer wavelength radar or light?
Radar has the longer wavelength.
Why microwave is not used in radar?
Microwave IS used in RADAR.
What does radar measures?
It measures the time it takes for a radio signal of a particular frequency to travel to a target and back. It also measures the strength of the signal when it returns. Based on the travel time of the signal, the radar can measure the distance of the target. Once the radar receives the 2nd signal, it can calculate the velocity of the target. The strength of the signal can be used to determine the size of the target.
Uses echoes from a scattered signal to collect data about the Earth's surface?
radar
What does the Doppler radar measure?
A narrow microwave signal is directed at the moving vehicle at a known frequency, due to its motion the reflected signal will arrive back at the radar at a different frequency, an algorithm in the radar processor converts this difference to give the vehicles speed. Presumably the angle between the cop and the speeder will have to be taken into account as well.
How long would a radar signal take to complete a round trip between Earth and Venus when they are at 0.3 AU apart?
It would take a radar signal 299.40 seconds to complete a round trip.
Side-looking uses echoes from a scattered signal to collect data about the Earth's surface?
radar
Microwave and radar question papers of 5th semister vtu university?
You can find recent papers of microwave and radar from the below link.
How long would a radar signal take to complete a round-trip between Earth and Mars when the two planets are 1.5 AU apart?
It would take a radar signal 3049600 seconds to complete a round-trip between Earth and Mars. Divide by 60 to get minutes and divide again to get hours.
What are the names of three inventions that use radar technology?
microwave, radar system and um ducks
What uses microwave radar?
No. Radar use electromagnetic radiation of a much longer wavelength
Would RF signal travel in Air Medium?
Yes. If it didn't, then there would be no AM radio, FM radio, or TV, no Bluetooth, no cellphone, no garage-door opener, no microwave oven, no cordless telephone, no Blackberry, no satellite communication, no toy RC cars or airplanes, no police or weather radar, etc.
What was invented during a research project involving radar?
Microwave
