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

AI Thread Summary
Radar operates at frequencies around 300 GHz (UHF) with a wavelength of approximately 0.1 meters. In contrast, sonar functions within a frequency range of 3 kHz to 30 kHz and has wavelengths between 100,000 meters and 10,000 meters. Users are encouraged to consult resources like Wikipedia for detailed charts and historical context on radar and sonar systems. The discussion highlights the differences in frequency and wavelength between these two technologies. Overall, the thread provides a clear overview of the operational parameters of radar and sonar.

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.
 

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
