Pretend there is a patient and the doctors need to see deep into his body, in a safe way. To start off, they use the MRI, which uses the radio waves to construct a computer image (of the tissue, they are looking at). The MRI device sends a short bursts of radio waves into the paitients body. The radio waves energize atoms (energize the patients particles inside his body)and make them line up. When the radio pulses are turned off the atoms return to there original position and the radio waves return to the machine (when the radio waves come back to the machine or when they return, the machine now has the picture of the tissue).
It is kind of like a delivery man or getting your picture taken. For example, the delivery man... at first it is like a shock you get mail, then when it is done the delivery man leaves. He goes and deliveries it to someone else. So, then that person just recieved whatever you sent. Just like the machine, the machine just got whatever the radio waves gave it... the picture of the tissue.

Does mechinal waves have radio waves?
no, mechanical waves are not radio waves
How are electromagnetic waves different to radio waves?
Radio waves ARE electromagnetic waves.
What is a radio wave?
Radio waves are electromagnetic waves. The radio waves have the longest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum. A radio wave has a much longer wavelength than does visible light. We use radio waves extensively for communications.
Was the radio named after radio waves or were radio waves named after the radio?
Radio waves were discovered before the radio was invented.
Radio waves and cell pjones?
Radio waves and cell phones
What is the palindrome for a method of finding the position of a solid object by sending out a pulse of high frequency radio waves?
Radar locates objects with radio waves.
What kind of radio waves bounce off an object to determine its speed and location?
radar
What should be the position of the antenna with respect to the direction of the transmitted radio waves?
A dish antenna must face the arriving waves.
What should be the position of the antenna with respect to direction of the transmitted radio waves?
A dish antenna must face the arriving waves.
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.
Can the radio waves be easily blocked?
Yes, creating a Faraday cage (essentially a container covered with metal mesh), you can block all radio waves. The spacing of the mesh or grid will determine the frequencies that are blocked.
How are electromagnetic waves different to radio waves?
Radio waves ARE electromagnetic waves.
Are radar waves visible?
No. Radar waves are one category of radio waves. Think of all the radio waves that are all around you right now . . . AM radio, FM radio, police and fire radio, highway patrol radio, taxi radio, television picture and sound radio waves, cellphone radio waves, garage-door-opener radio waves, bluetooth radio waves, WiFi waves, microwaves ... and you can't see any of them ! Radar waves can easily be there in the group.

How are radio and television waves added to em radio waves?
by changing the amplitude or frequency of the radio waves.
What radio waves?
Radio waves are electromagnetic waves occurring on the radio frequency portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.
