Question

The receiver must be placed: anywhere along principal axis, at center of dish, at edge of dish, at the focus. The satellite dish whose receiver is moved, not the dish, is: spherical reflector or parabolic reflector. All satellites use radio waves only. This statement is: correct or incorrect. The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite uses which EM wave to study and track storm systems like hurricanes? Radio, UV, infrared, x-rays. Small dishes are connected in an array instead of using one large dish because of all of the following except: less expensive to operate and maintain, lighter to carry, ability to operate when one malfunctions, more effective in receiving simultaneous transmissions.

Explanation / Answer

To gain maximum intensity, the receiver must be placed at the focus of the dish. Because the parallel waves coming from satellite will be directed toward the focus. Receiver of parabolic reflectors has to move to gain transmission. Incorrect, they use microwave too. Infrared, as they help us too see the temperature gradient, hence, wind pressure and storms. Less expensive to operate and maintain.
