Best Answer

The transmitter sends out EM waves. EM waves are a carrier of energy and are produced by oscillating charges - usually caused by connecting metal to AC power supply. The waves travel through a medium and transfers its energy to the antenna which is basically a metal rod. The energy causes charges in the metal to oscillate at a certain frequency, controlled at the transmitting end. The charges oscillate to produce corresponding EM waves which can be detected/read as signals and turned into sound energy etc...

What is the use of antennas?

an antenna is used for transmitting and receiving signals with the use of electro magnetic waves. without the antenna there will not be any communication between one end and the other end. so, antennas play an important role using the EM waves. these em waves take energy from conducting electrons and transmits the information to the other end.
