🔍 Key Concepts

• Marine radar frequency bands commonly used on ships • Relationship between frequency (MHz) and wavelength (cm) in the RF spectrum • Typical X-band and S-band radar characteristics

💭 Think About

• Think about what frequency range (in MHz or GHz) ship radar normally uses and which band names (X-band, S-band) you’ve heard in class. • Ask yourself how the wavelength in centimeters is related to the operating frequency: if frequency goes up, what happens to wavelength? • Consider whether the two descriptions given in the options (frequency vs. wavelength) could both correctly describe the same part of the spectrum.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the usual frequencies (in MHz/GHz) assigned for marine X‑band radar. • Verify the typical wavelengths (in centimeters) for marine S‑band and X‑band radar. • Check whether both the numerical frequency values and the wavelength values in the choices match those standard radar bands.
