The small part of the energy in radio waves that is captured by the antenna

of the receiver becomes electrical energy, in the form of a minuscule current

flowing down into the receiver. It controls much larger currents in the receiver,

and some of those are eventually converted to sound waves when they reach

the speaker or ear buds.

What type of useful energy does a radio produce?

A radio produces electromagnetic energy in the form of radio waves that are converted into sound waves by the radio's speaker, providing audible information and entertainment.


What type of energy travels in waves?

Electromagnetic energy travels in waves. These waves include visible light, radio waves, microwaves, and X-rays, among others.


How can you transform energy from one type to another like radio to electric?

Each type of energy conversion should be investigated separately. The example you mention - converting radio waves to electrical energy - works as follows: The electromagnetic wave (the radio wave) arrives at an antenna as an alternating electrical and magnetic field - so this will quite naturally induce an electrical current (alternating current).


What type of energy transfer occurs in a radio?

In a radio, energy transfers through electromagnetic waves. The electrical signal from the radio station is converted into electromagnetic waves, which travel through space and are picked up by the radio's antenna, converting them back into sound waves that we can hear.


Is radio waves matter or non-matter?

Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic radiation, which is a type of energy. They do not consist of matter but are produced by the acceleration of charged particles.


How are radio waves related to photons?

Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation that consists of photons. Photons are the smallest unit of light and carry energy. When radio waves are transmitted, they are made up of photons traveling through space, carrying information and energy.
