"Venus is hidden by an atmosphere so thick that even without the clouds, the surface would not be visible. Radio waves can penetrate this barrier, and have allowed us to finally see the surface. Microwave emissions gave early clues about conditions on the surface, and radar maps have revealed the topography and geology of the planet..."

Does mechinal waves have radio waves?
no, mechanical waves are not radio waves
How are electromagnetic waves different to radio waves?
Radio waves ARE electromagnetic waves.
How long would it take radio signals to travel from Earth to Venus and back if Venus were at its farthest distance from Earth?
Practical Answer If the distance between Earth and Venus is to be maximum, then the two planets would have to be on opposite sides of the Sun. There would be no way to send radio waves to Venus in this situation as the waves cannot travel through the Sun. So, in reality, this question has no answer.Theoretical Answer For the sake of curiosity, lets assume the waves travel through the Sun in a straight line.: Earth's average distance from the sun = 93,000,000 miles Venus' average distance from the sun = 67,200,000 miles Max separation (opposite directions from the sun) = 160,200,000 miles Speed of radio (light) = 186,282 mi/sec Time for a radio or radar return = 2 x (160,200,000 / 186,282) = 1,720 seconds = 28-2/3 minutes(rounded)
What is a radio wave?
Radio waves are electromagnetic waves. The radio waves have the longest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum. A radio wave has a much longer wavelength than does visible light. We use radio waves extensively for communications.
Was the radio named after radio waves or were radio waves named after the radio?
Radio waves were discovered before the radio was invented.
Study of radio waves from space?
radio astronomy
What is the study of radio waves from space?
radio astronomy...:)
Why do you study radio waves?
fjf.fkhhk
Why is the ionosphere important for communication?
It is what radio waves bounce off of.
What do scientists use to study radio waves traveling through space?
Radio telescopes.
What do astronomers use to study quasars?
Scientists use radio waves to study distant quasars because quasars emit large amounts of radio waves but not much visible light.
What is the objects of study called?
Astronomy is the study of celestial objectsRadio astronomy is the study of celestial objects that emit radio waves.
What important quality does the ionosphere?
the ionosphere is important is the it is in the thermosphere
What is the study of celestial objects called?
Astronomy is the study of celestial objectsRadio astronomy is the study of celestial objects that emit radio waves.
What is Wave and optics application?
it is the study that deals with the optical waves. while the optical wave is nothing but the light wave itself or can be called EM-waves(electromagnetic waves). at cases study include the uv, infrared and radio waves
Why is ionosphere important for communications?
It is what radio waves bounce off of.
Why are seismologist important?
They are important because they study p-waves and s-waves which now we know that the Outer Core is liquid
