10. Radar is used for :
(a)Detecting objects by using light waves
(b) Reflecting sound waves to detect objects
(c) Determining the presence and location of objects with
radio waves
(d) Tracking rain-bearing clouds
Ans. (c) RADAR stands for Radio Detection and Ranging. As indicated by the
name, it is based on the use of radio waves.
It refers to the technique of using radio waves to detect the presence of
objects.
Today, it is used for a wide variety of applications, such as to determine the
range, angle or velocity of objects. It can be used to detect aircraft, ships,
spacecraft, guided missiles, vehicles, weather formations, and terrain.
