Yes, radio waves are a form of electro magnetic wave. Visible light is also a form of electro magnetic waves. Visible light can be seen through glass, just as radio waves can travel through glass.

∙ 13y agoThe lower the radio frequency (longer the wave), the more transparent the walls
are to it. That's why your AM radio works fine in the basement, but your TV and
your cellphone may have a problem down there.

your AM radio or made a cellphone call from inside your house, or from your office,
or from inside a parking garage. Those would be impossible if the radio waves
couldn't get in there.

What do radio waves travel easily through?
Air
Can radio waves travel through air?
Of course, they are similar to visible light waves, just a different wavelength and frequency. Indeed, many electromagnetic waves (radio waves) can travel through solid objects and water depending on the frequency and the medium through which they travel. If radio waves couldn't travel through the atmosphere, your radio wouldn't receive a signal, hence no music.
What do radio waves propagated through the interaction of?
radio waves are propagated through the interaction of
What is the difference between radio waves and sound from a radio?
No, a radio wave is not a mechanical wave. A radio wave is a form of electromagnetic (EM) energy, and it does not require a medium through which to travel like a mechanical wave does. Radio waves can travel through the vacuum of space. Let's contrast that with a mechanical wave.A mechanical wave involves the transfer of mechanical energy into and through a medium. Sound waves (which travel through air) and water waves (which move through water) are mechanical waves. They cannot travel without a medium through which to move.
Which has a higher frequencies am radio waves or fm radio waves?
FM radio has the higher frequency which is why it sounds better. AM is a lower frequency but can travel further because the waves bounce off
Why can radio waves travel through space but sound waves can not?
Radio waves travel through empty space because they are electromagnetic waves, whereas sound is a wave that must travel through air.
Which waves travel through vacuum?
raDIO WaVES
Why radio waves can travel through space but sound waves cannot?
radio astronomy
Why can radio waves can travel through space but sound waves cannot?
radio astronomy
What type of medium is required by radio waves?
radio waves do not require a medium to travel,it can even travel through vaccum
Do radio waves need a medium to travel through?
Radiation doesnt need a medium because it travels through space
What do radio waves travel easily through?
Air
What is a material through which light waves can travel?
Light can travel through transparent and translucent glass.
Can gps signals travel underwater?
No. The GPS signal is high-frequency radio waves. High frequency radio waves cannot travel through water.
What do electoromagnetic waves travel through?
The name is "electromagnetic waves". They can travel through empty space, and - depending on the specific frequency - through certain materials. For example, light can travel through glass.
Do radio waves need medium to travel?
light waves do not need a medium. Electromagnetic Waves (EM) do not need a medium. For example visible light, radio waves, microwaves, UV light and x-rays do not. These travel @ 300 million meters/sec in a vacuum.
Why are satellite used to relay radio waves?
Satellites are used to relay radio waves to the other side of the world because radio waves cannot travel directly through the Earth.
