Radar dectectors have very long waves. In fact they are longer than light waves which must travel all the way here from the sun.

Do radio waves have short or long wavelength?

Short wavelength


Do sounds that vibrate quickly make small waves or long waves?

Sounds that vibrate quickly create short waves, while sounds that vibrate slowly create long waves. The frequency of the vibration determines the length of the wave - high frequency vibrations result in short waves, while low frequency vibrations result in long waves.


Are radar waves too long or too short to be seen?

Too Long.


Is it true that short waves such as the color black are bent more than long waves?

yes


Are radar waves too short to see?

no they are too long


Do short wavelength waves bend more or less than long wavelength waves?

Short wavelength waves bend less than long wavelength waves when they pass through a medium because they have higher frequencies and shorter distances between wave crests. This phenomenon is known as refraction.


What is a tsunami short definition?

Tsunami is a series of long, high sea waves.


Are waves given off by the electric power lines to long or to short to be seen?

They are too long. For a good comparison of different waves, look up "electromagnetic spectrum".


What type of waves are used to carry signals?

Electromagnetic waves are commonly used to carry signals in telecommunications, such as radio waves, microwaves, and light waves. These waves can travel long distances and carry information encoded in their frequency, amplitude, or phase.


Why the rainbow colors arrange like that?

You get it because of the wave length of the waves go from long to short


Can police officers detect the speed you are going at night?

Yes, they use radars that bounce waves off your car and then the waves come back through the radar gun and tells how fast your traveling. There are also new laser radars that are better at singling out a single car from a large pack of them. So yes they dont need light to get a reading from a radar gun to tell them how fast you are going.


Can radio waves travel over a long distance in short distance?

Yes, radio waves can travel long distances by bouncing off the ionosphere or using repeater stations. However, they can also travel short distances by line of sight without bouncing or repeating.
