THE BENEFITS OF RADIO WAVES

Whatever the wavelength is will depend on the type of transmitter you will use. Stars, sparks and lighting also give off different types of transmitter. When you hear your radio station get fuzzy it is being interfered by these transmitters.

An "Atlantic 252" has about a 1 to 2 km in wavelength. People call this a long wave compared to others.

 

The radio, like AM stations are used for radio stations. The wave is about 100m in wavelength. This is about a medium wave

Radio waves have enabled better navigation of aircrafts and ships. For instance in the radar form, it is used for sending signals and then receiving them from their reflections. Radio waves sent from GPS satellites can be used by receivers for an exact indication of location. GPS systems are installed in most vehicles to provide the users with a map at all times. This technology was arrived at because of radio waves.

 

 

 

 

 

 

DANGERS

If you have a large amount of radio waves people say it can cause disorders like cancer, leukemia. They say that if you have power cabled above, or near your home it can affect your health.

Are radar waves visible?

No. Radar waves are one category of radio waves. Think of all the radio waves that are all around you right now . . . AM radio, FM radio, police and fire radio, highway patrol radio, taxi radio, television picture and sound radio waves, cellphone radio waves, garage-door-opener radio waves, bluetooth radio waves, WiFi waves, microwaves ... and you can't see any of them ! Radar waves can easily be there in the group.

Radio waves do what to the radio so that we may heat them?

Radio waves are electromagnetic waves that carry energy. When these waves are absorbed by the radio's antenna, they induce electrical currents in the circuitry of the radio. This process allows the radio to convert the energy from the radio waves into sound, enabling us to hear broadcasts. However, radio waves themselves do not heat; it is the conversion of that energy into electrical signals that allows the radio to function.


What is a radio wave?

Radio waves are electromagnetic waves. The radio waves have the longest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum. A radio wave has a much longer wavelength than does visible light. We use radio waves extensively for communications.


Are electromagnetic waves that are felt as heat are called radio waves?

No, electromagnetic waves that are felt as heat are called infrared waves, not radio waves. Radio waves have lower frequencies and longer wavelengths than infrared waves.
