This is dependent on the power input-output- from the transmittiing side, antennas used, general operator savvy, and the rotation of the earth, time of day, etc. Radio waves carry greater at night- and over water, this also applies to such things as Loran which are radio aids to navigation. sound also carries further at night. there are many unknown factors as well.

Short waverange is also term used for Electromagnetic pulse (EMP) when a nuclear device detonates. It means the wave length is very small allowing it to escape by a Faraday cage or other forms of shielding. waverange.com

Is long wave heat radiation given off by the earth when the earth absorbs short wave radiation?

Yes, long-wave heat radiation is given off by the Earth as it absorbs short-wave radiation from the Sun. This process is known as the Earth's energy balance, where incoming solar radiation is absorbed by the Earth's surface and later re-emitted as long-wave heat radiation.


What is a short wave of radiation?

A short wave of radiation refers to electromagnetic waves with high frequency and short wavelengths, such as ultraviolet (UV) and X-rays. These waves carry high energy and can have both beneficial and harmful effects on living organisms depending on the dose and exposure.


Is red light a gamma wave?

No, red light is not a gamma wave. Red light is a type of electromagnetic radiation with a longer wavelength than gamma rays. Gamma waves are a type of high-frequency electromagnetic radiation with very short wavelengths.


Active solar energy systems use long or short wave radiation?

Each system will have a characteristic profile of absorption efficiencies, that are incumbent on location, altitude and construction materials.

How can cellphones make radiation?

Cellphones use microwave radiation to send and receive. Radios do the same, but with long wave or short wave.


What is the heating effect of a medium that is transparent to the short wave length radiation of sunlight but opaque to the long wave terrestrial radiation?

ultraviolet rays


Does your hand emit long or short wave radiation and how do you know?

Long wave radiation in the form of infrared waves. These can be seen with an infrared camera.


What is the primary function of the clear glass of the greenhouse?

the glass allows short wave lengths of radiation to enter, but reduces the amount of long-wave length radiation that escapes


Is a microwave?

A short-wavelength radio wave. An electromagnetic wave that is somewhere in between regular radio waves and infrared radiation.

Does the radiation emitted by earth's surface have longer or shorter wavelengths compared to solar radiation?

The radiation emitted by Earth's surface has longer wavelengths compared to solar radiation. Earth emits long-wave radiation in the infrared range, while solar radiation consists of shorter-wave radiation in the visible and ultraviolet ranges.


What is the heat budget?

Is the balance between incoming short wave solar radiation (infra) and outgoing long wave solar radiation (TERESTRIAL) to avoid over cooling and overheating of the atmosphere.
