  • A.Locating submerged submarines.
  • B.Receiving a signals in a radio receiver.
  • C.Locating geostationary satellites.
  • D.Detecting and locating the position of objects such as aeroplanes.

Answer: D

RADAR is used for detecting and locating objects such as aircraft.

A pulse of radio waves is transmitted and the echo timed, giving the range as \(d = ct/2\); the antenna's direction gives the bearing, and the Doppler shift gives the speed. Radio waves do not travel through sea water, so submerged submarines are found by sonar.
