The appropriate wording should be frequencies instead of waves. Satellites use many different frequencies to transmit and/or receive information. The way that these frequencies travel are by waves. as mention above there are many different kinds of frequencies/waves. Here is a short list:

  • Microwaves.
  • UHF
  • Gamma-Ray
  • Infrared
  • Ultra violet
  • X-rays

it is important to note that gamma/x rays expose humans to harmful radiation so i dont think there used, but n e way.
