A measure of how much signal strength weakens as it travels from the transmitter to the receiver. It demonstrates that the signal decreases rapidly with increasing distance.

Random and unwanted electronic energy that disrupts the intended message being transmitted. It can come from various sources, such as electrical interference or natural phenomena.

A type of communication where both parties can transmit and receive information simultaneously. Think of a regular phone conversation where you can both speak and listen at the same time.

The range of frequencies needed to transmit the desired information. It determines the capacity of a communication channel to carry information.

The allocation of specific frequencies or portions of the electromagnetic spectrum for different communication purposes. This process ensures that various communication services can operate without interfering with each other.

The range of frequencies that can be used for communication. This is a finite resource that needs to be managed effectively to avoid interference.

Electromagnetic radiation that is invisible to the human eye but can be detected as heat. It is generated by any object with a temperature above absolute zero.

The portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye. It gives us the ability to see colors.

A type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths shorter than visible light. It is not used for visible communication because it cannot be seen by the human eye.
