Frequency & Wavelength of Radar & Sonar: Get Answers Here!

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Radar operates at a frequency of approximately 300 GHz, corresponding to a wavelength of 0.1 meters. In contrast, sonar functions within a frequency range of 3 kHz to 30 kHz, with wavelengths varying from 100,000 meters to 10,000 meters. This information aligns with established frequency bands for radar and the operational parameters of sonar systems. For further details, users are encouraged to consult comprehensive resources such as Wikipedia.

Can anyone tell me what frequency and Wavelength Radar and Sonar work in.
I think Radar have a frequency of 300giga hertz (UHF), wavelength 0.1

Sonar is somewhere between wavelength 100k - 10k metres, frequency 3k - 30k hertz.
Please help me thanks,
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Try looking them up on Wikipedia. I see a chart for Radar frequency bands in use, and historic information about Sonar systems.
 
Yes thank you, I already got the answer and have finished it.
