In the most extreme case, you can turn the wave on and off completely; this is commonly used in Ethernet for example. You can also modulate some aspect of the wave, such as amplitude (amplitude modulation), frequency (frequency modulation) or phase (phase modulation).Let's consider turning the wave signal on and off. The simplest way to transfer information this way is to agree to send (for example) one bit every second; in that case, if the signal is ON during one second, that might represent a "1", and if the signal is OFF during some other second, that might represent a "0".
In practice, much more than one bit per second is usually transmitted (for example, 100 million bits every second is typical, nowadays, for home Ethernet); and more complicated systems are generally used to encode the signal.

What is the fastest way to send information using sound waves light waves or water waves?
Light waves
How is sound energy used to produce and transmitted?
sound energy can be transmitted from gases,plasma andliquids and as longitudinal waves, also called a compression waves. it requires a medium to propagate. through solids it can be transmitted as both longitudnal waves and transverse waves
Which type of waves cannot be transmitted through vacuum?
light waves
Which type of energy is transmitted by vibrations of air?
Sound waves are transmitted in this manner.
How are sound transmitted?
there waves that tell sound
How are analog signals transmitted-?
Analog signals are transmitted as electrical waves.
Information in transmitted in terms of energy transfer in a telephone?
Information is usually transmitted in terms of either radio waves or acoustic energy in a telephone. Machines such as the fax are usually used.
What types of waves are used in wi fi?
Radio waves. Information is transmitted to & from the computer to the wi-fi connection digitally, by radio waves.
How much information get transmitted while using the gps?
only 96% of information is transmitted and the other 4% is lost
How is information transmitted from one place to another?
By carrier pigeon, a runner, the mail service, electric wires, electromagnetic waves, sound waves.
Which earths layer are S waves not transmitted?
S-waves are not transmitted through the outer core.
What are radio waves and what are they used for?
Radio waves are generated and modulated with the transmitted information at the transmitting station and radiated by its antenna. These radio waves are picked up by the receiver antenna, filtered from all the other transmitted signals, detected and demodulated by the receiver to recover the transmitted information.
What evidence provides information about the nature of Earth's core?
The different behaviors exibited by transmitted seismic waves.
How do transmission and reception information happen in cell phones?
Cell phone transmission occurs using radio waves from cell towers set up in the area. Information is transmitted from one tower to the next until it reaches its destination.
What is the fastest way to send information using sound waves light waves or water waves?
Light waves
How are signals transmitted?
Analog signals are transmitted as electrical waves.
How does sound made by a virbrating object travel?
Sound is transmitted through gases, plasma, and liquids as longitudinal waves. However, through solids it can be transmitted through either longitudinal waves or transversal waves. To view the source and more information go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound
