I'm pretty sure that they travel in parabolas, although honestly I'm tyring to find the same out for myself. The waves themselves are sin/cosine (I always forget) curves.
ADDED.
No, like light, they travel in straight lines, though can be imagined as an infinite number of thin rays fanning out from their source. They are described for analysis as sine curves so their 0-level points start at 0 s. in time, but the cosine curve is the same shape as its companion sine curve, simply displaced by 90º forwards. (Sin 0º = 1, Sin 90º = 1; but Cos 0º = 1, Cos 90º = 0)

What can you use radiowaves for?
Radiowaves can be used for communication. Radio stations use radiowaves to broadcast their content to radios.
What happens when a metal TV aerial absorbs a radio wave?
Yes, since metal plate or any other types of metals have free electrons they can absorb radiowaves since radiowaves travel through free electrons.
How does sound travel electronically?
An electronic device converts the sound waves into a digital signal/code that is then transported by microwaves or radiowaves, until it reaches another device that converts that code back into a soundwave.
What is an example of an electromagnetic wave?
x-rays, radiowaves, microwaves
How can you protect yourself from radiowaves?
aluminum hats seem to be the most common.
What can you use radiowaves for?
Radiowaves can be used for communication. Radio stations use radiowaves to broadcast their content to radios.
When was Radiowaves created?
Radiowaves was created on 1997-09-16.
What is the name of the wave that can travel through vacuum and how does it related to television?
Electromagnetic waves can travel in a vacuum. Radiowaves, which are used in television signals, are one part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Does sound travel in a wave?
yes sound travels in a wave known as the soundwave like many others(radiowaves,microwaves,and heatwaves)
What happens when a metal TV aerial absorbs a radio wave?
Yes, since metal plate or any other types of metals have free electrons they can absorb radiowaves since radiowaves travel through free electrons.
What kind of light is the slowest?
Radiowaves is the slowest light in movement. Radiowaves might not seem like light, but that would only be because our eyes can only detect the colors of the visible spectrum, not other kinds of light like radiowaves, infrared light, and X-Rays.Sorry.That's a good list of various forms of electromagnetic radiation ... visible, radio, x-rays, etc.They all travel at the same speed.
How are radiowaves detected?
By a satellite dish
What is before microwaves in electromagnetic spectrum?
radiowaves
Do laptops use microwaves or radiowaves?
PENIS
What energy is it when a radio plays?
radiowaves doiih
What led to the creation of the television?
radios and radiowaves
Is sunlight and radiowaves a good example of compression waves?
Sunlight and radiowaves are examples of electromagnetic waves, which are transverse mechanical waves. Sound waves are compression waves.
