Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic energy. Radio receivers interpret this information by converting the frequency (how many cycles of the wave pass a point in a given amount of time) or the amplitude (the strength of a wave). These are called FM and AM radio stations or frequency modulation and amplitude modulation. These waves are often as long as buildings. They are good for broadcasting information because lower frequency waves are usually better at penetrating obstacles like roads, trees and anything between the transmitter and the receiver.

The waves used to broadcast radio signals are called RF waves and these generally lie in VHF and UHF band of electromagnetic spectrum.
No. Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic waves.
from transmitter through air molecules in the form of waves
Radio waves are utilized in one specific way by transmitting signals to carry information for communication, such as in radio broadcasting where radio stations use radio waves to broadcast music and news to listeners.
The sound from the radio reaches Simon through a process that starts with the radio broadcasting signals encoded with audio content. These signals travel through the air as electromagnetic waves, and the radio receiver captures them using its antenna. The radio then decodes the signals and converts them into electrical signals, which are amplified and transformed into sound waves through the speakers, allowing Simon to hear the broadcast.
by changing the amplitude or frequency of the radio waves.

Radio waves
Radio transmits using electromagnetic waves, specifically radio waves, which are a type of non-ionizing radiation. These waves are generated by oscillating electrical currents and can travel through the air, allowing for the broadcast of audio signals over varying distances. The transmission occurs through antennas, which convert electrical signals into radio waves and vice versa. This enables the reception of sound, such as music and speech, by radio receivers tuned to specific frequencies.

yes
Radio waves were discovered before the radio was invented.
