Yes, you can however the distance that a signal may be travel depends on the power and frequency of the signal. For signals at the same power a lower frequency signal will travel further.

What method of signal transmission uses radio waves to carry signals?

The analog method of signal transmission uses radio waves to carry signals. Digital transmission involves the use of satellites to transmit signals.

Why dont broadcast stations transmit at audio frequencies?

1) If information was transmitted at audio frequencies, then you would actually hear the signal. This would be identical to a speaker playing a song on your stereo. 2) Audio frequencies, in the world of radio frequencies, are long wave-length, low energy signals that can't travel long distances. Again, that's why you can only hear someone's stereo from within eyesight of the system. Human ears can detect from about 3Hz up to around 20KHz (some better than others). 3) True radio frequencies start at in the 100Khz range. This is your most basic radio that uses amplitude modulation (aka AM radio). Many people today that listen to the radio listen to frequency modulated (FM) stations. The difference between AM and FM is beyond the scope of the answer to this question. Being a higher frequency, the signals have more energy and can travel farther distances than audible frequencies. 4) Audible frequencies (sounds the human ear can pick up) can only "transmit" amplitude (loudness or volume) and frequency (high or low pitch). However, higher frequencies, such as those used for radio, can carry much more information than the volume and pitch of a signal. This is a direct result of radio frequencies being harmonics (integer multiples) of audible signals. For instance, if a radio signal has a frequency 20 times higher than the audio signal it is transmitting, then that radio signal can not only carry the audio signal, it can also carry other information, such as information about the broadcast station. A radio signal can "encode" information within the signal allowing more information to be carried than just the audio signal itself.

How does an Underground Fence work?

An underground wire along a boundary carries a radio signal that will transmit a warning message to an creature wearing a collar that corresponds to the radio signal if he encounters that boundary. If that animal or human proceeds to cross the fence, then an electric shock may be administered.

What does tuning a radio station have to do with resonance?

A signal from a radio station is tuned in a radio receiver by applying the signal to a resonant tuned circuit that accepts the wanted signal while rejecting all the other signals arriving.


How does a radio signal go from a disc jockey speaking into a microphone at a radio station to your ear?

In the microphone, there is a diaphragm, which converts the DJ's voice into an electrical signal. This signal is sent along the wire to the antenna, which broadcasts it into the ether. Your home radio receives the signal through its aerial, then converts the signal from an electrical signal to audio - which is detected by your ear.
