How does a radar signal bounce off of a distant object back to the exact spot that it was sent from?
In: Physics
Easiest way to get this is to understand that radio waves are just a form of light that we can’t see. The radar acts like a big giant flashlight with a sort of camera at the the end. Light waves also bounce off things the same way which is how we see, so think of it like shining a bright light so you can see things.
