Homework Statement
Hey, I'm writing a report on applications of radar at the moment and just have a few tasty questions about radar/EM wave propagation...
Firstly, I understand that active radar relies on radio waves scattering off bodies with differing properties of conductivity/dielectric constant (metals for example).
I’ve read that nowadays, though, a lot of radar systems use microwaves instead of radiowaves, so I'm assuming these scatter off the same types of objects?
Do all forms of EM radiation (radio through to gamma) scatter just depending on properties of conduction? If not, which do?
Please get back to me ASAP, thanks very much in advance for any help!
