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.

∙ 9y agoI would say its a solid, because there is no liquid or gas in it. If yuo're trying use the proporties of a radio to explain your answer, then here are some things that could help:
a radio has a volume (depending on its size)
a radio has a color (depending on the different colors it comes in)
a radio has a density (depending on how heavy or light it is).
Thats everything that I know that could help you. Good luck! Go Bryce Petty and baylor

∙ 11y agoA radio is classified as a solid. But if you meant radio-waves it would be classified as energy.

What does a radio need to pick up radio waves?
antenna
Will any radio antenna pick up ultrasound?
No, radio antennas only pick up electromagnetic waves. Ultrasound is mechanical pressure waves, you need a microphone to pick them up.
A device used to detect radio waves from space?
they use radio waves to pick up some what satellite images or existance of things in space
Can waves carry viruses?
Waves coming into a beach may carry human viruses but the risk is low. Radio waves received by a radio receiver will not carry viruses that you could catch. Wireless communication used by computers should not carry viruses if the communication (radio waves) system is properly set up.
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)
Is a rainbow made up of radio waves?
no, they are made up of light waves, similar to radio waves and both are in the same spectrum (the electromagnetic spectrum) but they have different wavelenghts.
Is radio waves made up of many different types of electromagnetic radiation?
No. Only of radio waves.
What does a radio need to pick up radio waves?
antenna
How can radio waves convers to electrical energy?
An antenna picks up radio waves and converts them to electrical current
What makes radio waves?
Aside from radio transmiters set up by humans. nearly every thing emenates high frequency radio waves.
How electromagnetic waves transfer energy to matter?
Electromagnetic waves transfer energy to matter by heating up matter and changing configuration of matter including fission, breaking matter up.
Are rainbows made up of matter?
no they are made up of light waves. they are energy in the form of light, which has been split up into its different wavelenghts and therefore different colours.
The heart has some ... tissue in it?
it is made up of some human being's and a little bit of radio waves. it is also a teacher.
If you turn up your radio what does it increase?
sound waves
How does waves in the air get to a radio?
They are picked up by the antenna.
Will any radio antenna pick up ultrasound?
No, radio antennas only pick up electromagnetic waves. Ultrasound is mechanical pressure waves, you need a microphone to pick them up.
A device used to detect radio waves from space?
they use radio waves to pick up some what satellite images or existance of things in space
