I have to be honest with you. Technically, the answer is yes. Any electromagnetic wave passing within the effective gravitational distance of a large mass, like the sun or a black hole, will bend slightly.
The effect, though, is so slight that it was never even noticed until about 100 years ago. Even then, it was only found because the Theory of Relativity predicted it, so some scientists went looking for it really hard. Otherwise, any discrepancy would have surely been attributed to a margin of error!
In everyday life, the Earth's gravity has no significant effect on radio waves. Our radio systems don't need to take into account its gravitational effect. But when it comes to detecting planets and stars millions of miles away, it certainly does matter.

Do radio and television waves affect global warming?
No. Radio/television waves do not affect the temperature, but usage of radios and televisions definitely does.
How do different obstacles affect radio waves?
Radio waves hit all obstacles the same, but the waves will differ in the distance of the wave and/or the object from the transmitter.
Was the radio named after radio waves or were radio waves named after the radio?
Radio waves were discovered before the radio was invented.
Type of radio waves that excites water molecules?
Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic radiation. The EM waves used in microwaves are chosen speciiffically for there ability to excite water molecules.
Does mechinal waves have radio waves?
no, mechanical waves are not radio waves
Do radio and television waves affect global warming?
No. Radio/television waves do not affect the temperature, but usage of radios and televisions definitely does.
Why does weather affect radio waves?
yes is does
How can radio waves can affect the tsunami and earthquakes?
They can't. Radio waves are used to transmit information about earthquakes and tsunamis, but cannot affect the events themselves.
How do different obstacles affect radio waves?
Radio waves hit all obstacles the same, but the waves will differ in the distance of the wave and/or the object from the transmitter.
Is water some kind of wave like radio waves?
Water is not a wave. Waves on a water surface, on the other hand, do indeed have similarities with other types of waves in physics, including radio waves.
Was the radio named after radio waves or were radio waves named after the radio?
Radio waves were discovered before the radio was invented.
What type of wave has the has the lowest frequency?
Radio waves in electromagnetic waves/water waves
Type of radio waves that excites water molecules?
Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic radiation. The EM waves used in microwaves are chosen speciiffically for there ability to excite water molecules.
How do radio waves affect your daily life?
John Allen's nomination died because of radio waves u will missed slient love u joe with the moe
Does mechinal waves have radio waves?
no, mechanical waves are not radio waves
Are radio waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Transverse. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which are transverse.
How are electromagnetic waves different to radio waves?
Radio waves ARE electromagnetic waves.
