Since i do physics, satellites utilize microwaves since they travel through the ionosphere undeflected (they are higher frequency than radiowaves)
Wireless devices use radiowaves

Correct me if i'm wrong

Nothing I'm studying is sinking in!

sage.

 

[Anon4Real]

No way =(

I could blame it on terrible teaching, but yeah I can't study it, it just doesn't sink in. I got all my marks from pracs, exams are way too complicated =(

Cannot wait till HSC is finished!!!!

From the Samuel Davis IPT Textbook:

"Satellites use microwaves to carry digital signals from and to both ground based stations and also between satellites. Satellites contain transponders that receive microwaves on one frequency, amplify and then transmit microwaves on a different frequency. A typical communications satellite (see Fig 3.77) contains hundreds or even thousands of transponders."
