Radio waves travel at the speed of light which, in a vacuum, is about 3 x 108 meters per second.
radio waves
light waves do not need a medium. Electromagnetic Waves (EM) do not need a medium. For example visible light, radio waves, microwaves, UV light and x-rays do not. These travel @ 300 million meters/sec in a vacuum.
Radio waves. Low frequency.
A triode works as a basic amplifier by the use of radio waves. The radio waves produce a heat that is amplified.
When radio waves hit the Earth's atmosphere, they can be absorbed, reflected, or refracted. Some radio waves may continue through the atmosphere and reach the Earth's surface, where they can be picked up by antennas and receivers for communication or broadcasting purposes. The Earth's atmosphere allows radio waves to travel long distances without much degradation, making them valuable for long-range communication.
it refracts the radio waves back towards the earth
False. For some bands of radio waves the atmosphere is transparent. Radio waves can penetrate to the ground. That's why we have radio telescopes on the Earth.
The Radio waves are reflected back to Earth in the Ionosphere.

radio waves
The troposphere... It acts like a gigantic mirror - reflecting radio waves back to Earth.
ionosphere
The ionosphere contains weakly ionized gas which reflects radio waves.
Satellites are used to relay radio waves to the other side of the world because radio waves cannot travel directly through the Earth.
Radio waves bounce off of the ionosphere and return back to Earth.
Radio waves are predominantly used for communication in space due to their long wavelengths that enable them to travel long distances without much interference. These waves are able to penetrate Earth's atmosphere and travel through space to reach distant spacecraft and satellites.
