Water affects the travel of radio frequency in terms of attenuation. For example, sea water has high attenuation, causing communication hardly possible.

Can gps signals travel underwater?

No, GPS signals cannot travel through water. Water is an effective barrier for GPS signals, causing them to weaken and lose accuracy when trying to penetrate underwater. GPS signals are designed to travel through the atmosphere, not through water.


Can radio signal travel through salt water?

Radio signals can travel through salt water.


What radio wave frequency is used to ignite water?

14 megahertz


When the frequency of the source of a water wave increases the speed of the waves traveling in the water increases. Is this a true or false statement?

The statement, when the frequency of the source of a water wave increases the speed of the waves traveling in the water increases is true. It is stated that sound will travel through the water at 20 degrees Celsius faster than water at 80 degrees.


What frequencies travel furthest through water?

Low frequency sound waves, such as infrasound and low-frequency ultrasound, travel furthest through water because they have longer wavelengths and can penetrate water with less energy loss. High frequency sounds are absorbed more quickly by water due to their shorter wavelengths.


Can radio waves travel through air?

Of course, they are similar to visible light waves, just a different wavelength and frequency. Indeed, many electromagnetic waves (radio waves) can travel through solid objects and water depending on the frequency and the medium through which they travel. If radio waves couldn't travel through the atmosphere, your radio wouldn't receive a signal, hence no music.


Does frequency travel in vacuum?

No, sound requires a medium to travel through like air, water, or a solid material. It cannot travel through a vacuum as there are no particles for the sound waves to interact with and propagate through.


Are microwaves a type of radio wave?

Yes, microwaves are a type of electromagnetic wave, similar to radio waves but with a higher frequency and shorter wavelength. They are used in microwave ovens to heat food by exciting water molecules, causing them to vibrate and generate heat.


What does the word channel mean?

A radio or T.V. frequency. An area of water that joins two larger areas of water, such as the English Channel.


What type of wave has the has the lowest frequency?

Radio waves in electromagnetic waves/water waves


Can rf can travel in vacuum?

Yes, radiofrequency (RF) waves can travel through vacuum because they are a type of electromagnetic radiation that does not require a medium like air or water to propagate. This is why RF communication, such as satellite signals, can be transmitted through space.


Can a high frequency carrier wave travel longer distance than low frequency carrier wave?

High frequency radio waves over ~100 MHz will usually travel only in a straight line - hence these applications are called 'line of sight'. Waves of lower frequency, say 500KHz to 30MHz (rough values only) are bounced off the ionosphere and can travel round the world. Waves of very low frequency, 10 KHz to 20KHz, can penetrate sea water, and are used to communicate with subs. But they are of such low frequency that they can carry no effective modulation other than ON or OFF. But they can do a job that nothing else can do.
