radiation just means energy that travels. radio waves are just a type of radiation, so is visible light. anything that radiates, including heat, is radiation.

What are aircraft radio frequencies?
Aircraft Radio Frequencies, are *How pilots, are able to speak to the people working at the "Control Tower," at Airports. That's what (ARF)= Aircraft Radio Frequencies, really are.(:.

How are radio waves dangerous?
The short answer is: they don't cause cancer. The long answer is: Types of electro-magnetic radiation (light) are typically described by either their frequency or their wavelength. Using frequency as a basis for this answer, in order for light to cause cancer it has to be above a certain frequency to ionize the atoms in a strand of DNA. That frequency is higher than the light you see everyday by about 1,000 times. Radio waves are also a type of light. They are about 1,000,000 times lower than the light we see everyday. So the difference between frequencies that causes cancer and radio wave radiation is about 1,000,000,000 (a billion) times. The only reason we worry about the sun causing cancer is because it not only gives off visible light and RF (radio frequencies), it also gives off UV-B (the beginning of the ionizing radiation frequencies). The only tissue damage radio waves can cause is from spinning the atoms. This doesn't mutate DNA but it does "cook" the tissue. This is how a microwave works but it's an important distinction that cooking tissue is not the same as tissue being cancerous.
Is light part of the radio spectrum?
No, light is not part of the radio spectrum. But, both the radio spectrum and light are part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum is a range of frequencies from very low to very high. Light frequencies are higher than radio frequencies but both are the same kind of thing.
How can I listen to walkie talkie frequencies on my PC?
A computer cannot do that. Buy a radio that receives these frequencies.
What type of electromagnetic radiation has the smallest frequency?
Power frequencies has a low frequencies of 60 to 50 hertz, it is weak radiation from ac circuits.
What is low frequency radiation called?
LF-RF or low frequency radio frequencies. This spans frequencies from just below the AM radio band through the shortwave radio bands.
How does frequency vary different forms of electromagnetic radiation?
We call light electromagnetic radiation with certain frequencies; higher frequencies and we call it Ultra violet, X-rays and gamma radiation. Frequencies lower than light we call infra red, and radio.
What electromagnetic has the lowest energy level?
Radio waves have the lowest energy levels. They also have the longest wavelengths and the lowest frequencies of EM radiation.
What is electromagnetic spectrume?
ALL the radiation from the lowest frequency to the highest.
Are microwaves electromagnetic or machanical?
Microwave is electromagnetic radiation. It's just radio at frequencies above 3 GHz.
What type of radiation lies at frequencies just below the frequencies of visible light?
Infrared is directly below, next is x-ray, next is radio.
What are the different kinds of electromagnetic waves?
Gamma rays, X - rays, Ultraviolet , visible light , Infra - red, Heat radiation, Microwaves, ultra high frequency , very high radio frequency ,radio frequencies, power frequencies.
What is extremely low frequency radiation?
Low frequency waves are waves with long wavelengths, by definition, since their cycle is slowly repeated. One example is AM radio waves compared to visible light waves. AM radio waves have a frequency of around 1 MegaHertz (1,000,000 s-1) and are around 500 meters long. In contrast, visible light waves have a frequency of around 500 TeraHertz (300,000,000,000,000 s-1) and are around 500 nanometers long (.000000500 meters).
Would microwaves have a high or low penetrating ability relative to other em waves?
microwaves are more penetrative than gamma rays, UV radiation and visible light, but less so than radio waves.
What is the meaning of radio in electromagnetic waves?
"Radio" is the generic name we give to electromagnetic radiation with frequencies less than 300 GHz (wavelengths greater than 1 millimeter).
What kind of radiation are microwaves?
microwave radiation is called "electromagnetic" radiation
