Radio waves themselves are not inherently spherical; rather, they propagate in the form of electromagnetic waves that can have various shapes depending on the source and environment. When emitted from a point source, such as a radio antenna, radio waves typically radiate outward in a spherical pattern, creating expanding spherical wavefronts. However, the actual shape and propagation can be influenced by factors like antenna design, frequency, and surrounding materials.
no, mechanical waves are not radio waves
Radio waves ARE electromagnetic waves.
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.
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.
Radio waves were discovered before the radio was invented.

Transverse. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which are transverse.
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.
Waves that spread outwards in all directions are called spherical waves.
Radio waves are electromagnetic waves occurring on the radio frequency portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.
by changing the amplitude or frequency of the radio waves.
Radio Waves - radio station - was created in 2010.
by changing the amplitude or frequency of the radio waves.
Radio and light waves are electromagnetic waves, sound waves are not.
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.

Plane waves are planar waves that propagate in a straight line, with wavefronts that are flat and perpendicular to the direction of propagation. Spherical waves, on the other hand, propagate outward in three dimensions from a point source, with wavefronts that form concentric spheres. The intensity of a plane wave decreases as 1/r (where r is the distance from the source), while the intensity of a spherical wave decreases as 1/r^2.
