Electromagnetic waves, such as radio waves and light waves, travel in a vacuum at 300,000,000 meters per second so the wavelength of a radio wave at any particular frequency can be calculated by using the formula:

[Wavelength in meters (m)] =

300,000,000 / [Radio frequency in cycles per second (Hz)]

AM (Medium and long wave) broadcasts:
Frequencies: 300 to 3,000 kilohertz (KHz)
Wavelengths in air: 1,000 meters to 100 meters

FM (UHF radio and television broadcasts):
Frequencies: 300 to 3,000 megahertz (MHz)
Wavelengths in air: 100 centimeters to 10 centimeters

Do radiowaves have long or short wave length?

Radio waves typically have long wavelengths ranging from several millimeters to several meters. Their long wavelengths enable them to travel long distances and penetrate obstacles such as buildings, making them useful for communication over long distances.


Why can't you see infrared light or radiowaves with your naked eyes?

Answer Your brain can't see heat, ultraviolet light, radiowaves, X-Rays, etc. with your naked eyes, because these different kinds of light's wavelengths are either too long or too short for your naked eyes to see. So that is why you can't see infrared

Is sunlight and radiowaves a good example of compression waves?

No, sunlight and radiowaves are not compression waves. Sunlight consists of electromagnetic waves, while radiowaves are a type of electromagnetic wave in the radio frequency range. Compression waves are mechanical waves that require a medium to propagate, such as sound waves.


Do you measure photons energy with wavelengths?
