Can an optical fiber transmit microwaves?
To be perfectly technical, the answer to this question would have to be 'yes', but only because light and radio are the same physical phenomenon. The optical fiber only conducts the electromagnetic waves that we usually describe as "light". The waves that we normally describe as "radio" cannot pass through optical fiber.
What is the difference between a microwave and a radio wave?
Microwaves are radio waves of very high frequency/ very short wavelength. The exact boundary is not well defined, but frequencies over about one gigahertz (1 000 000 000 Hz) are generally considered "microwave". This boundary, as a wavelength, is anything shorter than about 30 cm. The top end is also loosely defined, as extremely short "radio" waves eventually become infra-red radiation. "Microwaves" extend around 100 gigahertz in frequency, equal to one millimetre (1/10th of a centimetre) in wavelength. The region between microwaves and infra-red is commonly known as "millimetre/millimetric" waves.
Neither X rays nor radio waves can penetrate the earth's atmosphere?
False. For some bands of radio waves the atmosphere is transparent. Radio waves can penetrate to the ground. That's why we have radio telescopes on the Earth.
What are the similarities between gamma rays and radio waves?
Both are electromagnetic waves.
Microwaves are detected by a ghosts b electromagnetic fields c micowave ovens d cooling systems?
None of the above. * Ghosts are not a part of physics. * Electromagnetic fields in a static sense do not exist. Electromagnetic radiation does; it consists of a changingelectric field which causes a changing magnetic field which causes a changing electric field which causes . . . and so on forever. Electromagnetic radiation moves off at the speed of light ; it has different properties depending on how fast the fields are changing, including radio waves, microwaves and light.. * A microwave oven generates microwaves. Microwave radiation cannot "detect" itself. * Cooling systems are designed and built to cool. They can't detect anything, including microwaves.
How are radio waves xrays microwaves and the suns rays different?
Radio waves ... including microwaves ... and X-rays are different only in wavelength (frequency). The sun radiates all of them.
Are microwaves radio waves?
Yes and No All waves like that or electomagnetic waves that are the same thing but just operate on different frequencies and wavelengths But not microwaves are as much radio waves as they transmit heat signatures are well as slight audio signature Essentially no but they are very similar microwaves are just faster and at a different wavelengths
Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum is nearest to radio waves?
Microwaves are nearest to radio waves in the electromagnetic spectrum. They have slightly higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths compared to radio waves.
On the electromagnetic spectrum microwaves are located between infrared waves and radio waves. Which is true for microwaves?
That means that both the frequency and the wavelength of microwaves are also between those of infrared and radio waves.
Do microwaves have more or less energy than radio waves?
Microwaves have more energy than radio waves. They have shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies, which results in more energy being carried by microwaves compared to radio waves.
Are radio waves longer than microwaves?
Radio waves have longer wavelengths than microwaves. Radio waves typically have wavelengths ranging from a few millimeters to kilometers, while microwaves have wavelengths ranging from a few millimeters to a few centimeters.
Why frequency of microwaves is longer than radio waves?
Microwaves are radio waves. That name is given to radio waves atfrequencies above 3 GHz (wavelength less than 10 centimeters).
What are microwaves light and radio waves examples of?
Microwaves, light, and radio waves are all examples of electromagnetic waves. These waves are characterized by their ability to travel through a vacuum without the need for a medium, and they all have different wavelengths and frequencies that determine their specific properties and uses.
Name 5 different waves you encounter everyday?
Sound waves, light waves, radio waves, microwaves, and ocean waves.
What type of waves are found after radio waves and before infrared waves?
Microwaves
Do microwaves have a longer wavelength than radio waves?
No, microwaves have shorter wavelengths than radio waves. Radio waves have longer wavelengths, ranging from a few millimeters to hundreds of meters, while microwaves typically have wavelengths of a few centimeters to a few millimeters.
Do satellites normally use microwaves or radio waves?
Microwaves are radio waves.Most satellites communicate in microwave radio frequency bands.
