Electromagnetic waves carry energy and information. Energy is transferred through the oscillation of electric and magnetic fields, while information can be encoded in the frequency, amplitude, and phase of the wave.

How are radio waves affected in the atmosphere?

I dont think they do, Radio waves diffract less and arn't affected by the ionosphere which is the upper part of the atmosphere. Most electromagnetic waves are affected severely by the atmosphere, which is a good thing due to the strength they carry EXCEPT microwaves *Apparantly*.

No. Microwave is a radio wave, which is an electromagnetic wave.No, its actually an electromagnetic waves, just like X-rays and visible light...electromagnetic waves dont need to go through medium ( solid, liquid, gas).

radio waves


What types of waves don't need a medium?

All waves of the EM. spectrum e.g. Radio waves Microwaves Light waves X-rays Gamma rays Cosmic Rays etc. Technically gravity waves and a couple other waves that relate to inter- and extra- atomic bonds


How does the non-mechanical waves move through the space?

Non-mechanical waves(radio waves) which are sent into space are nothing but electromagnetic waves similar to light waves.Unlike sound waves or water ripples(waves) which require a medium to propagate in,electromagnetic waves are self-sustaining waves.We know that a moving charge causes a magnetic field and a moving magnetic field induces an electric field.Since an electromagnetic wave comprises of both electric waves and magnetic waves which are caused by each other,therefore they dont require a medium for propagation.


What is the exact temperature for radio waves?

radio waves dont have a temperature because they are comprised of energy and photons, not ordinary matter


Why dont sound waves travel through space?

Sound needs something to carry the waves. This is most commonly air, and there is no air in space.


What is wireless media?

Transmission of waves take place in the electromagnetic Answer: Transmission of waves take place in the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. The carrier frequency of the data is expressed in cycles per second called hertz(Hz). Low frequency signals can travel for long distances through many obstacles but can not carry a high bandwidth of date while high frequency signals can travel for shorter distances through few obstacles and carry a narrow bandwidth. Also the noise effect on the signal is inversely proportional to the power of the radio transmitter.
