How are light waves different than radio waves?
Light waves are the wavelengths that register on our visual receptors. Radio waves have a much longer wavelength and not as much energy.
What radio waves are made of?
Radio waves are electromagnetic energy, similar to light, but of much longer wave lengths.
What is a radio wave?
Radio waves are electromagnetic waves. The radio waves have the longest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum. A radio wave has a much longer wavelength than does visible light. We use radio waves extensively for communications.
Why do radio waves travel faster than the sound wave?
Radio waves are just low frequency light waves. They travel at the speed of light, much faster than sound waves which are just changes in pressure traveling in waves
Light waves are the wavelengths that register on your visual receptors Radio waves have a much slower wavelength and not as much energy?
Radio Waves are lower frequency/longer wavelength. Don't know about energy level...
What is the most powerfull telescope?
The most powerfull type of telescope is the Radio telescope. Radio waves travel much further than light waves.
What is radio astromony?
astronomy using radio waves, rather than visible light. visible light and radio waves are essentially the same, only radio waves have a much longer wavelength. not everything emits light in the visible band, many otherwise invisible objects can only be detected using extreme wavelengths.
Why do radio waves diffract around building's while light waves do not?
Light waves do diffract, but the effect is very very small. In general diffraction effects are important when the object interacting with the wave has dimensions that are comparable to the wavelength of the wave. Light waves have much shorter wavelength compared to the radio waves. Hence the effect. (It should also be noted that radio waves penetrate buildings much better than light waves, but that leads to a more nuanced discussion of diffraction effects.)
What is waves that are very long and do not have much light energy?
Ultraviolet light, x-rays, and gamma rays are all electromagnetic waves that are more energetic than visible light.
What are the waves called that radios use?
Radio waves. They are a form of electromagnetic waves with a much lower frequency than light, meaning a longer wavelength.
Does visible light have a higher frequency then radio waves?
Definitely. The highest radio frequency is around 300 GHz, whereas the lowest visible frequency is around 400,000 GHz.
Why can light waves carry more information then radio waves?
Light waves have much shorter wavelengths compared to radio waves, allowing them to carry more information in the same amount of space. Additionally, light waves can be modulated at a higher frequency, enabling a larger amount of data to be transmitted. This makes light waves more suitable for high-speed data transmission and communication systems.
