Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic radiation. The EM waves used in microwaves are chosen speciiffically for there ability to excite water molecules.
Radio waves were discovered before the radio was invented.
no, mechanical waves are not radio waves
Radio waves ARE electromagnetic waves.
Radio waves are electromagnetic waves that carry energy. When these waves are absorbed by the radio's antenna, they induce electrical currents in the circuitry of the radio. This process allows the radio to convert the energy from the radio waves into sound, enabling us to hear broadcasts. However, radio waves themselves do not heat; it is the conversion of that energy into electrical signals that allows the radio to function.
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.
No, water waves are mechanical waves that result from the movement of water molecules. Electromagnetic waves, on the other hand, are waves of energy that do not require a medium to travel through and include light, radio waves, and microwaves.
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.

from transmitter through air molecules in the form of waves
Mechanical waves, such as sound waves and seismic waves, require molecules as a medium in order to transfer energy. These waves depend on the vibration and interaction of particles in the medium to propagate energy. Electromagnetic waves, such as light and radio waves, can travel through a vacuum because they do not require molecules to transfer energy.
Yes, radio waves can generate heat in an object through a process called dielectric heating. When radio waves encounter an object with suitable properties, such as water or certain chemicals, they can cause the molecules to rotate rapidly, creating friction and generating heat as a result. This principle is utilized in technologies like microwave ovens for cooking food.
Radio waves do not travel well through water.Radio waves travel at the speed of light, and just like light, are absorbed by water, in the same way as the deeper you go the darker it gets. Ultra long radio waves travel the best in water, but even then only a few hundred metres. Radio,visible light, infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays, microwaves and various other kinds of waves turn out to all be the exact thing. The only difference between them is the "wavelength" of the wave. In any wave something moves back and forth and the length of one complete cycle is called the wavelength. It turns out that all of these waves are able to move charges around - sort of. The thing is that the radio and waves with longer wavelengths move charges better than visible light and x-rays. That's because the shorter the wavelength, the faster the charges have to move to keep up. And moving all those charges around sucks up a lot of energy from the wave. So, in fact, the saltier the water, the less able radio waves will be able to penetrate through it. By the way, using the same sort of reasoning you can explain why metals are not transparent :-P .
Radio waves can interact with gases in the atmosphere, but they do not absorb gases in the same way that light or heat might. Instead, radio waves can be scattered or refracted by gas molecules, causing changes in the propagation of the waves. The behavior of radio waves in the atmosphere is influenced by factors such as the density and composition of gases.
False. Radio waves and sound waves are different types of waves. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves that transmit signals through the air, while sound waves are mechanical waves that transmit vibrations through a medium such as air, water, or solid objects.
Radio waves in electromagnetic waves/water waves
When the water is disturbed, its molecules starts moving fast but do not loose their mean position and transfer this disturbance to other molecules and the waves are produced following this disturbance.
