Well, darling, if I could see those radio waves, I'd probably start by checking out who's talking smack about me on the airwaves. Then I might give a little wave back, just to spook them a bit. It's like spying on someone gossiping about you from a distance - except in this case, I can actually see them doing it!

What if we could see radio waves and how would it change our understanding of the world around us?

If we could see radio waves, it would revolutionize our understanding of the world by allowing us to visualize the invisible signals that power our technology and communication systems. This ability could lead to advancements in fields such as telecommunications, astronomy, and even healthcare, as we gain a deeper insight into the electromagnetic spectrum and its impact on our daily lives.


How long would it take for a radio wave to get from here to china?

One big piece of information you left out of the question is: Where is "here" ? No matter where you are, it wouldn't take long at all. If they stayed near the surface, radio waves could go all the way around the Earth about 71/2 times in one second.


Why can't we see radio waves and how do they differ from visible light?

Radio waves have longer wavelengths than visible light, which makes them invisible to the human eye. Visible light has shorter wavelengths that our eyes can detect, while radio waves have longer wavelengths that are outside the visible spectrum. This difference in wavelength is why we can't see radio waves but can see visible light.


Why can 2 astronauts on a spacewalk see each other but not hear each other without radios?

Since there is no air, the sound waves would not travel. Radio waves being electromagnetic do not rely on matter (atmosphere) to conduct them.


What are four types of radiation from the sun?

The four types of radiation from the sun are visible light, ultraviolet (UV) radiation, infrared radiation, and radio waves. These types of radiation are emitted by the sun and travel through space to reach Earth. Each type of radiation has different properties and impacts on the Earth's environment.

Can you touch radio waves?

You cannot touch radio waves. They would simply pass through your hand, and you would never feel them.


Do walkie talkies use radio waves?

Yes. A good rule of thumb is that if the device has an antenna, it uses radio waves. An antenna would not be needed if it didn't use radio waves.


Which type of electromagnetic wave has less energy than an infrared wave?

Waves with lower frequency: for example radio waves.


Are Internet waves electromag?

By Internet waves, one would assume you mean WiFi. When talking about WiFi, it does not use electromagnetic waves but instead uses radio waves like your TV or radio does.


Are electromagnetic waves 1.510m?

There are such waves at that wavelength. As a radio transmission they would be known as "short waves" , or "-VHF" (very high frequency).


Why do we use radio waves in radar why not other waves?

"Radar" comes from RAdio Detection And Ranging. If it didn't use radio it would be called something else.LIDAR (LIght Detection And Ranging) is laser instead of radio. That uses light.

How are sound waves converted into radio waves?

Sound waves would not ordinarily be converted INTO radio waves.Sound Waves can be used to modulate the radio waves.The radio frequency of a typical FM station is around 100MHz.The audio is used to vary the FM frequency by the range of audio waves, perhaps 100 Hz up to 12 kHz. So the 100MHz signal varies from 100 MHz ± (100 to 12kHz)


What electromagnetic waves would you expect to produce a photoelectric effect radio waves infrared waves ultraviolet waves X rays or gamma rays?

ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and gamma rays would all do that


Are radio waves made up of matter?

Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which consists of electric & magnetic fields. When they hit matter they exert forces on the charges of the atoms that make up the matter. Radio waves are usually pretty weak so when they hit most materials not much happens because the atomic charges are pretty firmly in place. However, in metals some of the atomic electrons are not firmly in place and will be easily moved by a radio wave. This is why antennas work. The radio wave causes currents in the antenna which can be sent to a circuit which can convert the currents into the information that was sent by the radio wave (TV & Radio), if it was carrying information.


What has a wavelength longer than visible light?

Assuming you mean other electromagnetic waves: that would be infrared radiation, microwaves, and radio waves.


This layer is responsible for the possibility of radio communication?

The ionosphere is the layer responsible for enabling long-distance radio communication by reflecting radio waves back to Earth. Its charged particles interact with radio waves, bending and reflecting them to facilitate communication over long distances. Without the ionosphere, radio waves would continue into space, limiting long-distance communication possibilities.
