How long does it take radio waves to travel from earth to Jupiter?
The distance between Earth and Jupiter can be anywhere between roughly
391 and 577 million miles, depending on where each of them is in its orbit.
The corresponding transit times for radio (or light, heat, etc.) are:
390.8 million miles . . . 35 minutes
576.8 million miles . . . 51.6 minutes
Can a low frequency wave have big or small amplitude?
Yes, a low frequency wave can have both big and small amplitudes. The amplitude of a wave refers to the maximum displacement of a particle from its equilibrium position, and this can vary regardless of the frequency of the wave.
Do sound waves and electromagnetic radiation travel at the same speed?
No, sound waves and electromagnetic radiation do not travel at the same speed. Sound waves travel through a medium (such as air, water, or solid materials) at a speed that depends on the properties of the medium, while electromagnetic radiation (such as visible light, radio waves, and X-rays) travels at the speed of light in a vacuum, which is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second.
What is Radiation pattern of have wave dipole is?
In open space, infinitely far from material objects, the radiation pattern of a half-wave
dipole is a torus (donut), with the radiator (wire) passing straight through the center
of the hole. The field strength is maximum in all directions perpendicular to the wire,
and zero in the directions off the ends of the wire. The peak field strength is +2.2 dB
relative to isotropic.
Exposure to radiation in the ultraviolet region is the most common way of causing fluorescence, but not the only way. Exposure to enough radiation for one electron to absorb two photons can cause fluorescence.
The broadcasting range of her favorite radio station is 85 miles. This is because Cobb's ability to keep the signal while driving 75 miles east indicates that she would be at the edge of the station's range when driving north from her house, which is 20 miles away from the station. This makes a total of 75 + 20 = 85 miles.
much larger in size because radio waves have longer wavelengths compared to visible light. A radio telescope would need a larger dish or antenna to achieve the same angular resolution as a visible-light telescope due to the longer wavelengths involved in radio astronomy.
Do black holes give off radio waves?
Yes, black holes can emit radio waves. These radio waves can come from material accelerating near the black hole before being consumed, or from the interaction of the black hole with its surrounding environment. Studying these radio emissions can provide valuable information about the properties and behavior of black holes.
Radio waves have longer wavelengths than xrays?
Yes, radio waves have longer wavelengths (measured in meters) and lower frequencies compared to x-rays, which have shorter wavelengths (measured in nanometers) and higher frequencies. Radio waves are used for communication and broadcasting, while x-rays are used in medical imaging and security screening due to their ability to penetrate solid objects.
A device used to detect radio waves from objects in the space?
A radio telescope is used to detect radio waves emitted from objects in space. These telescopes collect and amplify these signals to create images and study various celestial phenomena such as supernovae, pulsars, and other cosmic events. The information gathered helps astronomers to better understand the universe.
It would be a tie; both light and radio are electromagnetic waves, as are X-rays, gamma rays, ultra-violet and infrared. They all travel at the same speed, the "speed of light", which is about 300,000 km/second, or 186,000 miles per second.
Who was the unit for measuring radio waves named for?
The unit for measuring radio waves, the hertz (Hz), is named after German physicist Heinrich Hertz, who made significant contributions to the study of electromagnetism and radio waves in the late 19th century.
How long does it take for a radio transmission to go from earth to alpha centauri and back?
It takes about 4.37 years for a radio transmission to travel from Earth to Alpha Centauri (the nearest star system) and another 4.37 years for the signal to travel back. This means a total round-trip communication time of around 8.74 years.
Which human sense is extended by a radio telescope?
Radio telescopes extend the sense of sight by detecting and measuring radio waves emitted by celestial objects in space. This allows astronomers to observe objects and phenomena that are not visible with optical telescopes.
Is Fm radio hiss big bang radiation?
The hissing sound you hear on FM radio is usually caused by electromagnetic interference and atmospheric conditions, not from big bang radiation. Big bang radiation is the residual radiation from the early universe, and it is not responsible for the hiss on FM radio.
What types of light bulb converts ultraviolet waves in to visible light waves?
A fluorescent light bulb contains a phosphor coating on the inner surface of the bulb, which converts ultraviolet light produced by the mercury vapor inside the bulb into visible light. LED light bulbs do not contain phosphors but instead use semiconductors to directly convert electrical energy into visible light.
How long does it take a radio wave to travel to Saturn from earth?
Using the formula speed = distance/time and that Saturn from earth is 821,190,000 miles and the speed of light 186,000miles per second. Then rearrange the formula for time we find the answer is 4415 seconds or 73.58 minutes or 1.226 hours
Are radio telescopes dangerous?
No. Well, if you try to walk on one, you'll fall through, and that would hurt......
===============================================
Another contributor added:
Not unless one falls on you.
Radio telescopes don't transmit anything. They are super-sensitive receivers, designed to
pick up the faint whispers of radio signals coming to earth from elsewhere in the universe.
Your cellphone exposes you to more radiation than the largest radio telescope in the world does.
What do radio telescopes use to gather and forces radio waves?
Radio telescopes use large antennas to gather radio waves by focusing them onto a receiver. The receiver amplifies and converts these radio waves into electrical signals that can be analyzed by scientists to study celestial objects and phenomena in space.
Increasing the distance between the two most widely separated radio telescopes has an enormous effect on resolution.
How do you download music to your nextar GPS ME?
Well normally you would have to download an app. I suggest an app called "Titan" It does ask you where it wants you to put you're music, I also suggest you put it in your Google play in the music area.
The moon blocks radio signals sent from earth?
The moon does not block radio signals sent from Earth, but it can cause disruptions in the signals due to its influence on the Earth's ionosphere. Radio waves can still reach the moon and be reflected back to Earth. NASA and other organizations have successfully sent signals to spacecraft on the moon and beyond.
Radio telescopes are used by astronomers to study celestial objects and phenomena in the radio frequency range. They are employed to detect radio waves emitted by objects such as stars, galaxies, and cosmic microwave background radiation. Radio telescopes are also used in radio astronomy research to investigate the structure and composition of the universe.
Does Heat have shorter wavelengths than visible light?
No. Heat is infrared radiation ("infra" means "lower"). Lower frequency means longer wavelength.
All radiation is captured by antennas that resonate at the frequency of the radiation. The "antennas" for visible light are electrons that use the radiation to jump into excited states and cause optical neurons to fire. The "antennas" of heat (infrared) are bigger -- they are molecules that jiggle faster when the radiation hits them. That jiggling is heat.
The simple answer would be to divide 500 billion by 120, which gives an answer of slightly over four billion. The reality might be different, however. Just because a civilization is broadcasting radio signals does not mean that we necessarily can detect those signals. The Milky Way galaxy is 200,000 light years across on its long axis (80,000 on its shorter axis) and there are some stars which are so far away that it would take tens of thousands, even a hundred thousand years for a radio message to reach the Earth, and the hypothetical broadcasting civilization might not have been broadcasting for that long. And even if they were broadcasting long enough, the signal strength might not be enough to allow us to separate it from the background noise. And we might not be listening on the same frequency on which they are broadcasting. Those are just the most immediate complications.
