Cell phone transmission uses shortwaves (120 MHz to 1000MHz) to transmit its signals, these waves are Electro-magnetic waves (just like light); thus, they travel at the speed of light: 299,792,458 m/s or 670,616,629 mph.

Do cell phones use transverse waves or Compressional waves?

They use micowaves, so they are transverse (def. oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation).


Can anyone track or retrieve cell phone picture messages?

How do cell phones utilize electromagnetic waves for communication?

Cell phones use electromagnetic waves to communicate by converting sound into electrical signals, which are then transmitted as radio waves. These radio waves travel through the air and are received by a nearby cell tower. The tower then relays the signal to the intended recipient's phone, where it is converted back into sound. This process allows for wireless communication over long distances.


Are the waves for cell phones longitudinal?

The waves transmitted from phone to phone are transverse (crests and troughs), but the waves from the phone to your ear are longitudinal

Would a cell phone work in a vacuum?

Yes, a cell phone would work in a vacuum because it does not rely on air for transmission of signals. However, the lack of atmosphere in a vacuum would affect other functionalities of the phone, such as the speaker and microphone, as sound waves need a medium to travel through.


How are radio waves transmitted and what is their impact on communication systems?

Radio waves are transmitted through antennas and travel through the air. They carry information in the form of electromagnetic signals. These waves are used in communication systems to transmit radio, television, and cell phone signals. They play a crucial role in enabling wireless communication over long distances.

How does a cell phone transmit sound faster than 741 MPH and how does the signal convert to sound?

Cell phones transmit sound as data through radio waves, which travel at the speed of light (about 671 million MPH). The signal is picked up by the cell tower, converted to digital information, and then transmitted to the receiving phone where it is converted back to an analog signal, resulting in sound through the speaker.
