The process of adding information onto a bare radio wave is called "modulation".

It means changing something on the wave ... either its amplitude, frequency, or

phase, or actually turning it on and off ... according to a pattern that the transmitting

person and the receiving person have worked out and agreed to, so that when the

transmitting person makes changes to the wave, the receiving person can figure out

what those changes mean.

How do you communicate with astronauts if radio waves are reflected back to earth?

Radio signals at frequencies up to roughly 40 to 60 MHz are absorbed or reflected from the ionosphere. At higher frequencies, the signals easily penetrate the ionosphere and continue on into space. This is the reason that AM radio (1 MHz) and "short-wave" broadcasts (4-13 MHz) are often received from great distances, but TV (54 MHz and up) and FM radio (100 MHz) are not.


What form of electromagnetic waves are used in tv signals?

It depends what you mean by TV wave. If you mean the transmission of television signals, then yes. An electrical signal can be transmitted from about 10kHz, so fits into the low end of the electromagnetic spectrum. The frequency for TV carrier signals will vary around the world, but they're typically VHF and UHF, so from 30MHz to 3GHz. Of course, digital systems and satellite distribution mean higher frequencies - in the microwave spectrum (higher frequency than light).


AM radio signals are?

Amplitute Modulation signals. a modulation(mixing)method used in early radio transmissions.in many countries, radio transmissions below 30 Mhz,are still using this method.short wave,medium wave transmissions,and some extent of VHF transmissions are possible in this method.

Radio waves carry what from a station to your home?

Radio waves carry information encoded as electromagnetic signals from the radio station to your home. These signals are received by the antenna of your radio or other device, which then decodes them to produce sound or data for you to listen to or view.

What type of electromagnetic wave does radio receive?

Radio waves have the longest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum. These waves can be longer than a football field or as short as a football. Radio waves do more than just bring music to your radio. They also carry signals for your television and cellular phones.


Why might radio signals also be called radio waves?

A radio signal is essentially an electromagnetic wave in the radio section of the electromagnetic spectrum. Therefore, the radio signal is made of a radio wave.
