Are waves larger at low or high tide?
Waves are generally not significantly larger at low or high tide; their size is more influenced by wind, swell, and local weather conditions. However, during high tide, waves can reach further up the shore, which may create the appearance of larger waves due to the increased water depth. Conversely, at low tide, waves may break earlier and appear smaller. Ultimately, wave size is primarily determined by environmental factors rather than tidal conditions.
How can a coastal area have large waves on a clear non stormy day?
Large waves in a coastal area on a clear, non-stormy day can occur due to distant weather systems generating swells, which are long-period waves traveling across the ocean. These swells can be created by storms far away, even if they are not affecting the local weather. Additionally, factors such as underwater topography, tides, and wind patterns can amplify wave height, leading to larger waves even in calm conditions.
What is meant by the term fetch in terms of geography and weather?
In geography and weather, the term fetch refers to the uninterrupted distance across which wind can blow over open water, generating waves. The longer the fetch, the larger and more powerful the waves can become. Fetch plays a key role in determining wave size, direction, and energy.
What might you observe with a radio telescope that you couldn't observe with an optical telescope?
Object that only shine with radio waves and not in the visible spectrum an object hidden by dust that block visible light.
What waves are used in Air traffic control or viewing weather conditions?
Radio waves are used in air traffic control to communicate with aircraft, while radar waves are used to track the position of aircraft and view weather conditions. Radar waves bounce off objects in the air and return to the radar system, allowing air traffic controllers to monitor air traffic and weather patterns in real-time.

What causes a beat frequency?
Beats are caused by the interaction of two waves with different periods. The Waves crests do not line up every oscillation, but when they do, they have a much larger than normal crest, which results in an observable beat.
What are supersonic waves?
Supersonic waves are waves that can travel faster than normal sound waves.
When using a rope to make waves do you make a larger amplitude or smaller amplitude?
To create larger waves when using a rope, you will need to make a larger amplitude. By moving your hand or shaking the rope with larger excursions, you can generate bigger waves. Conversely, smaller amplitudes would result in smaller waves.
Where do rouge waves occur?
Anywhere normal waves occur.
What is waves used for?
radio waves are used in tv communication, weather broadcasting
What causes oceans waves?
Normal (i.e. not tsunami) waves on the ocean are caused by the wind blowing over the ocean surface. The wind transfers some of its energy to the water surface, through friction between the air molecules and the water molecules. Stronger winds caused by storms result in larger waves and the larger the stretch of ocean over which the wind is blowing, the larger the waves.The winds cause waves on the surface of the ocean (and on lakes). The wind transfers some of its energy to the water, through friction between the air molecules and the water molecules. Stronger winds (like storm surges) cause larger waves. You can make your own miniature waves by blowing across the surface of a pan of water.
Can Doppler's Effect only be observed in sound waves?
No. We observe the Doppler Effect in all forms of waves, including sound waves and all forms of electromagnetic radiation.
What weather dose a altocumulus do?
Accumulators shows the ripples and waves int he weather. This is how they what the weather is going to be like.
When two waves interfere can the resultant wave be larger than either of the two original waves?
Yes, interference can result in a wave that is larger than either of the two original waves when the peaks of the waves align (constructive interference). This causes the amplitudes to add up, resulting in a larger wave.
Why does weather affect radio waves?
yes is does
When astronomers study distant galaxies they notice changes to the waves they observe describe the change to the waves they observe?
Because the universe as a whole is expanding, distant galaxies are moving away from us. As a result, electromagnetic waves emitted by those galaxies experience what is known as a red shift. Their wavelengths get longer.
