What picks up light waves?
Objects with reflective surfaces, such as mirrors, and materials with high refractive indices, like glass or water, can pick up or reflect light waves. Additionally, photodetectors (such as photodiodes or photomultiplier tubes) are specifically designed to detect and convert light waves into electrical signals.
Can you smell EM waves?
No, electromagnetic waves such as radio waves, microwaves, and visible light are not able to be detected by the sense of smell because they do not have a scent. These waves are typically detected by instruments or devices designed to pick up their specific frequencies.
How do antenna pick up waves?
Antennas pick up waves through a process called electromagnetic induction. When an electromagnetic wave passes through an antenna, it generates a small electrical current in the antenna which can be detected and amplified to recover information encoded in the wave. The size and shape of the antenna determine the types of waves it can efficiently pick up.
Is light only made out of photons or even just waves and how can we see waves in a form of light?
There are evidences that light is made up of particles called photons and even of waves. Light plays a dual nature. Some phenomenon like reflection and refraction can be explained on the basis of particles called photons while phenomenon like diffraction and polarization can be explained on the basis of wave theory of light. So, we can say that light is made up of particles as well as waves.
What describes the light waves that make up laser light?
Laser light is made up of coherent and monochromatic light waves. Coherent means that all the light waves are in phase with each other, and monochromatic means that the light consists of a single color or wavelength. This allows laser light to be focused into a tight beam with high intensity and precision.
How do telescopes pick up electro- magnetic waves in space?
-- They pick up light waves the same way telescopes, cameras, and your eyes do here on Earth. -- They pick up radio waves from the control center by means of antennas mounted under the optical assembly.
What picks up light waves?

Additionally, photodetectors (such as photodiodes or photomultiplier tubes) are specifically designed to detect and convert light waves into electrical signals.
Will any radio antenna pick up ultrasound?
No, radio antennas only pick up electromagnetic waves. Ultrasound is mechanical pressure waves, you need a microphone to pick them up.
Why does the ear pick up sound waves instead of light waves?
The two are different because Sound waves are longitudinal mechanical waves, but light waves are transverse electromagnetic waves, and sound requires a medium through which to travel, but light doesn't. Basically, Sound waves move sort of differently than Light waves.
How eyes work in mammals?
not sure. n eyes there are rods and cones. most animals have only rods, which pick up light and dark but not colour. humans(and possibly some other animals)have rodsand cones. the cones pick up colour.
What sense do walking sticks use?
They use their sense of direction/feeling through their antennae and their eyes pick up light.
Can you smell EM waves?
No, electromagnetic waves such as radio waves, microwaves, and visible light are not able to be detected by the sense of smell because they do not have a scent. These waves are typically detected by instruments or devices designed to pick up their specific frequencies.
Are light waves rotating waves?
Light waves can be expressed mathematically as either oscillating waves, rotating waves, pulsating waves or transient waves. It is up to the scientist to come up with a working model for the physical phenomena.
Why are some insects attracted to light?
Well it's a series of reasons really...insects have eyes and in those eyes are like little mirrors. so any light will reflect off their eyes and they pick it up as something interesting so they follow to find out what it is.
What describes the light waves that make up light?
The waves get wider and dimmer as they move.
Can you pick up a kitten when its eyes just opened?
Yes. You can pick up a kitten before it opens its eyes for the first time, if the mother will allow you to.
What does a radio need to pick up radio waves?
antenna
