Does satellite radio travel as a radio wave Or XM What type of electromagnetic waves are these?

Don't get dazzled. It's radio.
You have a radio receiver in your car. The three XM satellites and about 900 ground repeaters
have radio transmitters. They transmit radio from the transmitters to the receiver in your car.
Except for some updates in technology, the frequencies used, and the fact that you have to
pay for it, as far as you the driver are concerned, XM is the same thing that's been going on
since Motorola first took a radio out of a kitchen and put it in a car.

How are electromagnetic waves different to radio waves?
Radio waves ARE electromagnetic waves.
What type of energy is radio waves?
A radio wave is an electromagnetic wave. It's a form of electromagnetic radiation.The term "radio" is the name given to a part of the spectrum of electromagnetic waves that is used for radio and television broadcasting, mobile phones, terrestrial and satellite wireless communications networks, etc.The whole wide spectrum of electromagnetic waves has frequencies (and wavelengths) ranging from "audio" to "radio" to "infrared" to "visual light" to "X-Rays", and beyond to "gamma rays" at the very top end of the spectrum.
Gamma rays faster than radio waves?
No. Gamma rays and radio waves are both electromagnetic waves and travel at the same speed. They just have different wavelengths/frequencies.
Which is faster gamma waves or radio waves?
Both are forms of electromagnetic energy and travel at the same speed, which is the speed of light.
What travels faster radio waves or ultraviolet waves?
neither... they both are electromagnetic waves and therefore travel at the same speed... but ultraviolet waves have a higher frequency and also have more energy than radio waves
What kind of waves are used in satellite transmission?
Radio waves - in the microwave section of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Which waves travel at the Speed of light?
All electromagnetic waves, including radio.
What are the components of electromagnetic spectrum?
The electromagnetic spectrum - is simply the range of frequencies that radio waves etc travel at. This ranges from below human hearing (sub-sonic), through audible range past supersonic, broadcast radio, terrestrial television, micro-waves, satellite and beyond !
How do signals travel in space?
By use of electromagnetic waves, usually microwaves or radio waves.
How are electromagnetic waves different to radio waves?
Radio waves ARE electromagnetic waves.
Why do electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light?
Radio-waves, like light, are electromagnetic waves and hence travel at the speed of light.
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.
What forms of electromagnetic radiations travel in waves with the lowest energy?
Radio.
Sound is not part of the electromagnetic spectrum because?
because sound waves are not a electromagnetic waves because they need a medium for travel....hence electromagnetic spectrum is based on the electromagnetic waves ..like radio waves , micro waves , etc....
What radio waves?
Radio waves are electromagnetic waves occurring on the radio frequency portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Wave that can travel through an empty space?
what is a form of energy that travels as waves through the air and some solids and liquids call?
Can rf can travel in vacuum?
If you mean radio-frequency, yes, all electromagnetic waves can travel in a vacuum.
