Water is not a wave. Waves on a water surface, on the other hand, do indeed have similarities with other types of waves in physics, including radio waves.

What does wireless network use a transmission medium?

Electromagnetic waves, kind of like radio waves or microwaves.


What kind of wave does not require medium?

Electromagnetic waves, such as light waves and radio waves, do not require a medium to travel through. These waves can travel through a vacuum, unlike mechanical waves which require a medium to propagate, like sound waves in air or water waves in the ocean.


Which kind of waves requires a medium?

Mechanical waves, such as sound waves and water waves, require a medium (solid, liquid, or gas) to travel through. Electromagnetic waves, like light and radio waves, do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.


What are radio waves like?

Radio waves are exactly like light waves and X-rays, except that they're a lot longer.


What can't radio waves get through?

Radio waves have difficulty penetrating solid objects like walls, metal barriers, and mountains. Additionally, radio waves struggle to pass through dense materials like water or thick forests. These obstacles can block or weaken radio wave signals, affecting reception quality.


What kind of waves are water waves and how do they differ from other types of waves?

Water waves are a type of mechanical waves that travel through water. They differ from other types of waves, such as electromagnetic waves, in that they require a medium, like water, to propagate. Water waves are caused by the disturbance of the water's surface, while electromagnetic waves do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.


How does waves act?

Waves transfer energy without permanently displacing the medium through which they travel. They can exhibit properties like reflection, refraction, and interference, depending on the medium they are passing through. Waves can be categorized as mechanical waves, like sound waves and water waves, or electromagnetic waves, like light and radio waves.


Radio waves and useful of radio?

how are radio waves be used- well they are used by sound waves like as in u can hear sond waves but radio waves is where you are in the car and u are listening for instance capital fm that is radio waves Hope It Helped Hennddyyyy:) :D


Are radio waves tranverse?

Yes, like all electromagnetic waves.


Waves transport what over great distances?

Waves transport energy over great distances. This energy can generate movement in water, such as in ocean waves, or transfer information in electromagnetic waves, like radio or light waves.


How does a radio telescope gather data?

a radio telescope focuses the incoming radio waves on a antenna, which absorbs and transmits these waves to an amplifier, just like a radio antenna.


What are some types of materials that absorb radio waves and how do they affect the transmission of radio signals?

Materials such as metals, water, and certain types of building materials like concrete can absorb radio waves. When radio waves encounter these materials, they can be partially or completely absorbed, leading to signal loss or interference. This absorption can weaken the strength of the radio signal and reduce the range over which it can be transmitted effectively.
