Yes. That's how Earth-bound controllers communicate with the Hubble Space
Telescope, the Mars rovers, and with the various space probes still in service.
It's also how the Apollo astronauts were able to communicate with Houston
while they were on the Moon, and how the forgotten crew currently on the
International Space Station are able to tell their colleagues on the ground
exactly what they are doing and generally what's going on up there. And it's
also how you're able to receive 92 channels of TV from a satellite repeater
with that little dish on the garage roof.

How are electromagnetic waves different to radio waves?
Radio waves ARE electromagnetic waves.
What waves have the least energy in the electromagnetic spectrum?
. APEX: radio waves
What form of energy travels in varying wavelengths such as visible light infrared waves radio waves ultraviolet waves and X rays?
The electromagnetic spectrum includes visible light radio waves and infrared ultraviolet and x-rays.
Are X-ray and gamma radiations similar to visible light or radio waves except for their higher energies?
X-rays, gamma rays, radio waves, and visible light are forms of electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays are highest in energy compared to other electromagnetic radiations. Radio waves are least in energy in the whole electromagnetic spectrum.
Explain why the energy of infrared waves is greater than the energy of radio waves?
The energy of infrared waves is greater than the energy of radio waves. This is because infrared waves has a smaller wavelength compared to radio waves. The smaller the wavelength, the higher the energy.
Is a radio mechanical energy?
No. Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic waves.
What radio wave with the greatest energy?
Radio waves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic waves with the greatest energy are gamma rays.
What are examples of electromagnetic energy?
Examples of electromagnetic energy are radio waves, Xrays, optical light waves, infrared waves, sunlight and lightening.
What are the radio waves?
radio wave is form of electromagnetic energy which has the longest wavelength in electromagnetic spectrum
Is a radio a sound energy?
A radio produces sound, and therefore sound energy. The radio waves, however, are electromagnetic energy, not sound. The function of a radio is to convert that electromagnetic energy into sound energy.
What is the reason for ultrasonic waves not being in the form of electromagnetic waves?
Ultrasonic waves are high frequency sonic waves. They're sound, which is mechanical energy. Electromagnetic waves are waves of electromagnetic energy, like radio waves or light. Mechanical energy is different from electromagnetic energy, hence the reason for ultrasonic waves not taking the form of electromagnetic waves.
Are the suns waves electromagnetic waves?
The sun is a mechanical wave because it doesn't have radio waves in it and it doesn't have spectrum energy, unlike electromagnetic energy.
Which item is not considered electromagnetic energy?
A piece of wood is not considered electromagnetic energy. Electromagnetic energy refers to the energy carried by electromagnetic waves, such as light, radio waves, and X-rays. Wood does not emit or interact with electromagnetic waves in the same way that energy does.
What electromagnetic waves have the smallest amount of energy?
Those are called radio waves.
How are electromagnetic waves different to radio waves?
Radio waves ARE electromagnetic waves.
What form of electromagnetic energy have the longest wavelength?
radio waves
What are the waves?
radio wave is form of electromagnetic energy which has the longest wavelength in electromagnetic spectrum
