No, a radio wave is not a mechanical wave. A radio wave is a form of electromagnetic (EM) energy, and it does not require a medium through which to travel like a mechanical wave does. Radio waves can travel through the vacuum of space. Let's contrast that with a mechanical wave.
A mechanical wave involves the transfer of mechanical energy into and through a medium. Sound waves (which travel through air) and water waves (which move through water) are mechanical waves. They cannot travel without a medium through which to move.
Radio waves are electromagnetic radiation.
We have invented clever ways of changing the amplitude and frequency of radio waves according to patterns
that everyone has agreed on. Since the patterns of changes can be caused in one place and recognized in a
different place, they can be used to send 'coded' information from place to place, 'riding' on the radio waves.
In this way, radio waves are used as carriers for all kinds of information, such as sound, computer data,
TV pictures, etc.
If you can hear it, it's a sound wave.
The ear buds or speaker attached to the radio producessound waves. Before the signal
reaches the ear buds or the speaker, it's not a sound. There isn't really any such thing as
a "radio sound".
No. A FM radio is a collection of integrated and/or discrete components in an electrical
configuration capable of receiving and demodulating a frequency-modulated carrier.
There are radiowaves because it travels from the earth, but sounds from a radio is just sound made to go into your Ears
There is no difference. Microwaves are radio waveswith any frequency above 3 GHz.
These waves travel at very different speeds, and therefore also have very different wavelengths. Also, they are different types of waves - mechanical waves vs. electromagnetic waves.
speed of light
'Radio' waves are physically and electrically identical to light waves except for their frequency (wavelength), and they travel at the same speed as light does.
One uses infrared light and the other uses radio waves. Hope this helps!
Sound waves are resulted due to vibrations.
Radio and light waves are electromagnetic waves, sound waves are not.
Difference is in their frequency, audible sound waves is between 12 Hz and 20,000 Hz, Ultrasound waves is any sound that has a frequency beyond the 20,000 Hz limit
radio telescope detects radio waves and a light telescope views light waves.
u figure it out dude
sound waves
No difference at all. Radio waves are one of many types of electromagnetic waves.
There is no difference. Microwaves are radio waveswith any frequency above 3 GHz.
sound
False. Radio waves are electromagnetic vibrations, while sound waves are mechanical vibrations.
The sound waves which are below the audible sound are called infrasonics(<20Hz) and The sound waves which are above the audible sound are called ultrasonics(>20KHz).
FM radio uses frequency modulation to broadcast sound over radio. FM radio waves are usually transmitted between 87.5 to 108.0 megahertz.
