What visual distress signal is acceptable for night use only?

These devices are designed to produce bright light or a significant display to attract attention during nighttime. It's important to ensure they are used in accordance with local regulations and safety guidelines.


Why we need high power to generate AM signal and low power to generate FM signal?

The reason FM has lower power and AM has higher power is because the more power that an AM signal has, the farther it will go, but FM does not work that way. AM waves can bounce off of the atmosphere, especially at night. This is the reason that you can hear AM stations from far away at night. FM, on the other hand, can't bounce. FM waves only go in a straight line from the tower and no matter how much power you transmit with, an FM wave will only go a short distance. AM Waves can travel through trees and buildings, and FM can't.


Why phosphor screen is used in night vision goggles?

In a night vision tube, the object of the tube is to convert incoming light particles (photons) to electrons. The electrons are then multiplied many times by the microchannel plate inside the tube. It is these multiplied electrons that are the output 'signal'. However, since your eye cannot see electrons, they are converted back to visible light by way of the phosphor screen which 'lights up' when energized by the electrons.

Additionally, candles were used to signal safe houses or locations, allowing fugitives to find refuge along their journey to freedom.
