Yes. That's how Earth-bound controllers communicate with the Hubble Space
Telescope, the Mars rovers, and with the various space probes still in service.
It's also how the Apollo astronauts were able to communicate with Houston
while they were on the Moon, and how the forgotten crew currently on the
International Space Station are able to tell their colleagues on the ground
exactly what they are doing and generally what's going on up there. And it's
also how you're able to receive 92 channels of TV from a satellite repeater
with that little dish on the garage roof.
What else can I help you with?
How are electromagnetic waves different to radio waves?
Radio waves ARE electromagnetic waves.
What waves have the least energy in the electromagnetic spectrum?
. APEX: radio waves
What form of energy travels in varying wavelengths such as visible light infrared waves radio waves ultraviolet waves and X rays?
The electromagnetic spectrum includes visible light radio waves and infrared ultraviolet and x-rays.
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.
Are X-ray and gamma radiations similar to visible light or radio waves except for their higher energies?
X-rays, gamma rays, radio waves, and visible light are forms of electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays are highest in energy compared to other electromagnetic radiations. Radio waves are least in energy in the whole electromagnetic spectrum.
Is a radio mechanical energy?
No. Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic waves.
Do radio waves have high or low energy compared to other types of electromagnetic waves?
Radio waves have low energy compared to other types of electromagnetic waves.
What are examples of electromagnetic energy?
Examples of electromagnetic energy are radio waves, Xrays, optical light waves, infrared waves, sunlight and lightening.
Is a radio a sound energy?
A radio produces sound, and therefore sound energy. The radio waves, however, are electromagnetic energy, not sound. The function of a radio is to convert that electromagnetic energy into sound energy.
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum has the lowest energy?
Radio waves have the lowest energy in the electromagnetic spectrum.
Are the suns waves electromagnetic waves?
The sun is a mechanical wave because it doesn't have radio waves in it and it doesn't have spectrum energy, unlike electromagnetic energy.
What are 2 examples of electromagnetic waves?
Transverse and Compressional electromagetic waves Another opinion: No electromagnetic waves are compressional waves. They're all transverse. I think what the question was looking for is: -- Heat and visible light -- Radio waves and X-rays -- Ultraviolet and gamma rays etc.
What electromagnetic waves have the smallest amount of energy?
Those are called radio waves.
How are electromagnetic waves different to radio waves?
Radio waves ARE electromagnetic waves.
Which item is not considered electromagnetic energy?
A piece of wood is not considered electromagnetic energy. Electromagnetic energy refers to the energy carried by electromagnetic waves, such as light, radio waves, and X-rays. Wood does not emit or interact with electromagnetic waves in the same way that energy does.
What radio wave with the greatest energy?
Gamma rays have the greatest energy among all the types of electromagnetic radiation, including radio waves. They have the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies, making them the most energetic.
Which of the types of electromagnetic radiation has lower energy than microwaves?
Radio waves have lower energy than microwaves in the electromagnetic spectrum.
