How do we typically use radio waves? Physics 20 Electromagnetic Waves # 3 – Microwaves Go here for the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZeBzTI5Omk&list=PL09E558656CA5DF76&index=3 a. State some applications of how you use microwaves: b. What is the range of the microwave wavelength? c. What is Doppler radar? d. Microwaves are a portion or "band" found at the higher frequency end of the radio spectrum, but they are commonly distinguished from radio waves because of the technologies used to access them. Different wavelengths of microwaves (grouped into "sub-bands") provide different information to scientists. What information does the medium length C-band provide scientists? e. What is the L-band used for? f. How do astronomers use microwaves? g. What was the accidental discovery in 1965 using long L-band microwaves?

In order for us to see the infrared spectrum, we need specialized goggles. How do they work? f. Why do astronomers use IR waves? g. Ultraviolet, visible, and a limited portion of the infrared spectrum (sometimes called shortwave radiation) drive our earth system. What happens to them when they reach Earth? (Remember grade 10?) h. What do the CO2 and water molecules do with the long wave infrared radiation? What does this mean? i. Infrared has two main sections: near and far wave radiation.
