Unit 3 Review

Radar works like an echo. It shoots electromagnetic energy out and when it hits an object, the wave is reflected back. What would be an effective way to prevent the echo from happening?

• Paint the object with reflective paint.

• Paint the object with paint that absorbs that wavelength.

• A more rounded object will prevent detection.

• If the object is fast enough it will not be detected.
