They're man-made. Radio waves are eminated from various devices, not nature.

What is meant by radio frequency interference?

Radio frequency interference (rfi) is simply either man-made or natural sources that interact with radio waves. A natural source - is the crackle you hear from your radio when there's a lightning storm between you and the transmitter. A man-made source - could be something like hearing a taxi-cab radio over a 'normal' radio program.


How do radio waves be used to determine the position of icebergs at sea?

Pretend there is a patient and the doctors need to see deep into his body, in a safe way. To start off, they use the MRI, which uses the radio waves to construct a computer image (of the tissue, they are looking at). The MRI device sends a short bursts of radio waves into the paitients body. The radio waves energize atoms (energize the patients particles inside his body)and make them line up. When the radio pulses are turned off the atoms return to there original position and the radio waves return to the machine (when the radio waves come back to the machine or when they return, the machine now has the picture of the tissue). It is kind of like a delivery man or getting your picture taken. For example, the delivery man... at first it is like a shock you get mail, then when it is done the delivery man leaves. He goes and deliveries it to someone else. So, then that person just recieved whatever you sent. Just like the machine, the machine just got whatever the radio waves gave it... the picture of the tissue.


When was the first ever radio made?

The first radio signal was sent in 1895 by an Italian man named Guglielmo Marconi, but Nikola Tesla is recognized by the Supreme Court in 1943 as the first man to patent radio technology.


What part or components of the radio tuner intercepts and coLLects the radio signal?

That would be the antenna ... before anything ever reaches the components of the tuner. The purpose of the antenna is to collect an electrical current in the conductor as the electromagnetic waves fly by it. Once you have that current, you're ready to extract useful material from it ... -- selecting the one signal you want from the hundreds that have created a current in your antenna; -- sifting the actual radio signal out of all the natural and man-made noises that also created currents in your antenna; -- stripping the information (intelligence ??) off of the signal; -- converting the electrical signal representing the information into a form that you can observe with your senses ... typically listening to it or viewing it.
