Because it's cheap and easy to generate radio waves, add information to them,

detect them at great distances, separate one from out of many, and recover the

information carried by the one you want. Plus, they cover the distance from one

place to another quite rapidly.

How are radio waves utilized in one specific way?

Radio waves are utilized in one specific way by transmitting signals to carry information for communication, such as in radio broadcasting where radio stations use radio waves to broadcast music and news to listeners.

How does a Wi-Fi router modify the waves it sends when transmitting information?

A Wi-Fi router modifies the waves it sends by encoding data onto radio waves and transmitting them through antennas. This process involves changing the frequency, amplitude, and phase of the waves to carry information.


What are radio waves and what are they used for?

Radio waves are generated and modulated with the transmitted information at the transmitting station and radiated by its antenna. These radio waves are picked up by the receiver antenna, filtered from all the other transmitted signals, detected and demodulated by the receiver to recover the transmitted information.


How are am radio wave similar to radio wave different?

AM radio waves and radio waves in general are both electromagnetic waves used for transmitting information through the air. The main difference is that AM radio waves have a lower frequency and longer wavelength compared to other radio waves. This allows AM signals to travel longer distances but with lower audio quality compared to higher frequency radio waves.

What is changing in an AM radio wave?

As time passes, the amplitude of AM radio waves is intentionally changed in order to add information to the waves that can be read at a distance.


Is the radio a source of the waves?

The source is the RF current in the transmitting antenna.


What type of energy transfers information from a radio station to the radio?

RF stands for Radio Frequency, magnetic waves radiate out of the transmitting antenna and are picked up or recovered by the receiving antenna at the receiver.
