Not much, but interestingly enough, the reverse has been used on aircraft carriers.

When the fighter is approaching the carrier to land, the carrier will be sailing forwards reasonably fast. The airflow over the deck of the carrier will descend sharply just behind the flight deck, and the fighter will be pressed down by this airflow - which could lead to the approach being too low.

The carrier can emit a series of high volume audio chirps at a few kilohertz, and this compression wave will alter the density of the air behind the carrier. This slight difference in air pressure can be detected by radar, thus the actual airflow may be seen. This info is then embedded in the data fed to the pilot as he approaches the landing zone.

How can radio waves can affect the tsunami and earthquakes?

They can't. Radio waves are used to transmit information about earthquakes and tsunamis, but cannot affect the events themselves.


Sound waves from a radio generally travel in what medium?

Sound waves from a radio typically travel through the air as it is a medium that allows for the propagation of sound waves. Sound waves are generated by the radio transmitter and then travel through the air as vibrations in the form of pressure waves to reach the receiver.


Which of the following is not a form of radiation A Radio waves B Sound waves C Microwaves D Gamma waves?

Sound waves are not a form of radiation. Radio waves, microwaves, and gamma rays are all forms of electromagnetic radiation that can travel through space. Sound waves, on the other hand, require a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to propagate.


Name 5 different waves you encounter everyday?

Sound waves, light waves, radio waves, microwaves, and ocean waves.


Why does moving away from a radio affect?

Moving away from a radio affects the sound you hear due to the inverse square law of sound propagation. As the distance from the sound source increases, the intensity of the sound diminishes, resulting in a quieter audio experience. Additionally, environmental factors such as obstacles and atmospheric conditions can further attenuate the sound waves. This decrease in volume and clarity is why we perceive radio broadcasts as less audible the farther we are from the source.

Why the radio waves are similar to light waves but not sound wavesexplain?

Radio and light waves are electromagnetic waves, sound waves are not.


What is is radio sound heard through the use of?

Radio sound is heard through the use of radio waves, which are electromagnetic waves that can carry information from one point to another. These waves are transmitted from a radio station and received by a radio receiver, such as a radio or smartphone, which then converts the waves into sound waves that we can hear.

How does sound waves affect whales?

The sound waves affect their sence of directions.


Are radio waves are the same as sound waves true or false?

False. Radio waves and sound waves are different types of waves. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves that transmit signals through the air, while sound waves are mechanical waves that transmit vibrations through a medium such as air, water, or solid objects.


How messages are carried by radio waves?

Are radio waves a form of sound or light?

When you listen to the radio, you are hearing sound, which has no resemblance to light, radio waves, or x-rays. However, the sounds you hear are created in the radio receiver, using information that was carried to your location by means of radio waves.

Why does moving away from a radio affect the loudness you hear?

because sound waves spread out, intensity decreases with distance from the source.


What travels only through matter light waves sound waves or radio waves?

Sound waves can only travel through matter, as they require a medium to propagate. Light waves and radio waves can travel through both matter and empty space.


Do radio and television waves affect global warming?

No. Radio/television waves do not affect the temperature, but usage of radios and televisions definitely does.
