"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)


Radio waves do what to the radio so that we may heat them?

Radio waves are electromagnetic waves that carry energy. When these waves are absorbed by the radio's antenna, they induce electrical currents in the circuitry of the radio. This process allows the radio to convert the energy from the radio waves into sound, enabling us to hear broadcasts. However, radio waves themselves do not heat; it is the conversion of that energy into electrical signals that allows the radio to function.


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.

What do scientists use to study radio waves traveling through space?

Scientists use radio telescopes to detect and study radio waves traveling through space. These telescopes can collect and analyze radio signals from various celestial objects like stars, galaxies, and pulsars. By studying these radio waves, scientists can gain insights into the properties and behavior of objects in the universe.


Why do radio telescopes have to be very large in order to effectively capture and study radio waves from space?

Radio telescopes have to be very large in order to effectively capture and study radio waves from space because radio waves have long wavelengths and low energy, requiring a large collecting area to gather enough of them for analysis. The larger the telescope, the more radio waves it can collect, allowing for more detailed and accurate observations of celestial objects.


What are some careers that study waves?

Some careers that study waves include oceanographers who study ocean waves, seismologists who study seismic waves, and physicists who study electromagnetic waves. These professionals may work in various fields such as marine science, geology, and engineering.


In a radio telescope radio waves strike a large curved?

In a radio telescope, radio waves strike a large curved dish, which reflects and focuses the waves onto a receiver at the focal point. The receiver then converts the radio waves into electrical signals that can be processed and analyzed by astronomers. This allows scientists to study celestial objects and phenomena in the radio frequency range.


If you want to study how energetic waves affect matter you should study what type of waves?

You should study electromagnetic waves because they carry energy and can interact with matter by causing changes at the atomic and molecular levels. Examples of electromagnetic waves include visible light, X-rays, and radio waves.


Who was the unit for measuring radio waves named for?

The unit for measuring radio waves, the hertz (Hz), is named after German physicist Heinrich Hertz, who made significant contributions to the study of electromagnetism and radio waves in the late 19th century.


What is scientific study of rays called?

In the field of physics, that rather depends on the frequency. Optics in the case of light waves; Acoustics in the case of audio (pressure/velocity) waves; radio-physics in the case of radio waves; and Geophysics in the case of seismic waves. I presume you do not inquire after Sting Rays.
