Re: Mosquito and radar help needed
This takes me back to my days doing college physics, many more years ago than I care to remember!
The physical principles are quite clear - the electromagnetic waves of a radar beam are reflected by electrical conductors, such as metals, which thus give a good radar signature. Electrical insulating materials, such as wood are transparent to the electromagnetic waves, which pass through them with very little reflection or absorption. Net result = wood is transparent to a radar beam.
Above was established by Hertz in his original study of electromagnetic waves.
Cheers
