Why does a radio wave carry less energy than an ultraviolet wave?
From the equation E=hv where h= plank's constant v=frequency and ultraviolet waves has more frequency than radio waves hence ultraviolet waves have more energy.
Would microwaves have a high or low penetrating ability relative to other em waves?
microwaves are more penetrative than gamma rays, UV radiation and visible light, but less so than radio waves.
AM radio waves are able to traves farther than FM radio waves because?
AM waves are reflected by earth's ionosphere
Can laser beams carry signals like radio waves?
Yes, indeed, much more than radio. Increasingly used in telecommunications.
If Radio waves have a longer wavelength than microwaves What else is true about radio waves?
If the wavelength is longer, then the frequency is lower and the energy is less.
The type of radio waves that are diffracted the most around small buildings are?
AM Waves diffract more than FM waves.
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.)
Why does a radio waves carry less energy than an ultraviolet wave?
From the equation E=hv where h= plank's constant v=frequency and ultraviolet waves has more frequency than radio waves hence ultraviolet waves have more energy.
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.
How do you people use radio waves?
Radio waves have the longest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum. These waves can be longer than a football field or as short as a football. Radio waves do more than just bring music to your radio. They also carry signals for your television and cellular phones
When rf signals move around an object in their paths what is the phenomenon called?
By "rf signals", the question is referring to "radio frequency waves", "radio waves", or "waves" in general. This phenomenon, unique to waves, is called diffraction. Higher frequency waves diffract less than lower frequency waves. This is why you hear the bass through walls or cars when you can't hear the treble. This also happens with waves of any kind, such as liquids. AM frequency radio is generally better for cities with big buildings because the waves have a lower intensity, and therefore can "warp around" the buildings. FM frequency radio does not "wrap around" as well.
What travels faster radio waves or ultraviolet waves?
neither... they both are electromagnetic waves and therefore travel at the same speed... but ultraviolet waves have a higher frequency and also have more energy than radio waves
Why does a radio wave carry less energy than an ultraviolet wave?
From the equation E=hv where h= plank's constant v=frequency and ultraviolet waves has more frequency than radio waves hence ultraviolet waves have more energy.
What type of electromagnetic wave does radio receive?
Radio waves have the longest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum. These waves can be longer than a football field or as short as a football. Radio waves do more than just bring music to your radio. They also carry signals for your television and cellular phones.
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.
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.
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.
