A radio wave is an electromagnetic wave that can convey information from one point to another. This information can be modulated in many different ways.
Do not confuse "radio wave" as applied to the electromagnetic wave with "radio wave" as applied to the specific modulation of audio information, such as music.
Similarly, "tv wave" is an electromagnetic wave that is modulated to convey television information, which includes both audio and video.

∙ 14y agoRadio waves are very big; they can jump over buildings, hills, and even mountains. They have the largest waves in the electromagnetic spectrum. Infrared wavelengths are very small; they can be compared to the size of a pin point. The biggest difference between the various waves in the spectrum are the size and frequency of the wavelengths.

∙ 13y agoi am not familiar in this however i like to share what i know.
radio waves carry some data at a particular amplitude.. since to make it travel a longer distance the transmitter uses a carrier wave in which the radio wave gets boosted.at the receiver, carrier wave is filtered away.
carrier wave has higher frequency.

∙ 13y agoNo difference whatsoever. "Wireless" is today's fancy, glitzy, yuppie, new word for "radio".
The irony is that it was originally called "wireless", a hundred years ago, before that old
label gave way to the fancier, more impressive, thoroughly modern name of 'radio'. As the
Titanic sank, it transmitted a continuous distress call on the 'wireless'.

What is the difference between remote controls that use infrared light and those that use radio waves is?
One uses infrared light and the other uses radio waves. Hope this helps!
Explain why the energy of infrared waves is greater than the energy of radio waves?
The energy of infrared waves is greater than the energy of radio waves. This is because infrared waves has a smaller wavelength compared to radio waves. The smaller the wavelength, the higher the energy.
What are the differences between radio waves and micro waves?
There is no difference. Microwaves are radio waveswith any frequency above 3 GHz.
Why is microwaves found between infrared and radio waves?
the electromagnetic spectrum (all existing radiation) is organized in order of shortest wavelength from the left to longest wavelength from the right. Infrared waves, felt as heat, are slightly longer than the visible light spectrum, and microwaves longer still, and radio waves longer still.
What form of energy travels in varying wavelengths such as visible light infrared waves radio waves ultraviolet waves and X rays?
The electromagnetic spectrum includes visible light radio waves and infrared ultraviolet and x-rays.
What is the difference between remote controls that use infrared light and those that use radio waves is?
One uses infrared light and the other uses radio waves. Hope this helps!
On the electromagnetic spectrum microwaves are located between infrared waves and radio waves. Which is true for microwaves?
That means that both the frequency and the wavelength of microwaves are also between those of infrared and radio waves.
What are the diffrerent between infrared waves and radio waves?
Frequency, Length, Energy.
What are the Electromagnetic waves between radio waves and visible light in frequency?
Terahertz and infrared radiation.
What wavelengths are longer than light but shorter than radio waves?
Infrared light, microwaves and radio waves have wavelengths longer than visible light. Radio waves have the longest wavelength.
Infrared rays are electromagnetic waves that are longer than radio waves but shorter than visible rays?
Infrared waves are shorter than radio waves and longer than visible light waves.
Is a microwave?
A short-wavelength radio wave. An electromagnetic wave that is somewhere in between regular radio waves and infrared radiation.
What type of waves are found after radio waves and before infrared waves?
Microwaves
What is infrared rays used for?
Radio waves
Are infrared rays electromagnet waves that are longer than radio waves but shorter than visible light rays?
Infrared waves are shorter than radio waves and longer than visible light waves.
Difference between infrared waves and red light waves?
Infrared waves have longer wavelengths compared to red light waves. The wavelengths of infrared waves are too long for the naked eye to see, while red light waves can be seen as part of visible light.
Explain why the energy of infrared waves is greater than the energy of radio waves?
The energy of infrared waves is greater than the energy of radio waves. This is because infrared waves has a smaller wavelength compared to radio waves. The smaller the wavelength, the higher the energy.
