Are satellites a Transverse or longitudinal wave?

Satellites communicate using electromagnetic waves, which are a type of transverse wave. In a transverse wave, the oscillations of the wave occur perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer. This is in contrast to longitudinal waves, where the oscillations are parallel to the direction of energy transfer. Therefore, satellites utilize transverse waves for communication.

A wave travels through space on its way to a communications satellite. What kind of wave is it most likely to be?

The wave making the trip to the communications satellite will be a radio wave, which is an electromagnetic wave. Electromagnetic waves can move through the vacuum of space because they do not need a medium in which to travel. We usually use the microwave band of frequencies to communicate with satellites.

What is frequency of a satellite wave?

I never heard of a "satellite wave". If you mean the radio waves used by satellites for communication - well, like all radio waves used for such purposes, there is probably a large range of waves they can use.


Does a gps give off radiation?

Yes, GPS devices use satellites to communicate and determine location, so they do emit low levels of electromagnetic radiation. However, this type of radiation is non-ionizing and considered safe for everyday use by regulatory bodies.
