Question
Why are microwaves considered suitable for radar systems used in aircraft navigation?
Solution
Microwaves are considered suitable for radar systems used in aircraft navigation because they have a short wavelength range (10−3 m–0.3 m), which makes them suitable for long-distance communication.
