-- If you're listening to an AM radio station, then it's transmitting on some

frequency between 550 KHz and 1700 KHz. The wavelength is somewhere

between 176 meters and 545 meters.

-- If you'te listrening to an FM radio station, then it's transmitting on some

frequency between 87.9 MHz and 107.9 MHz. The wavelength is somewhere

between 2.78 meters and 3.41 meters.

-- If you're using a GPS receiver, then it's listening to frequencies of 1227.60 MHz

and 1575.42 MHz. The wavelengths are 24.4 centimeters and 19.0 centimeters.

-- If you're talking on your cellphone, then it's operating on frequencies somewhere

between 850 MHz and 950 MHz. The wavelength is somewhere between 31.6 centimeters

and 35.3 centimeters.

None of this depends on where you are. You could be in your office, in your car,

in bed, or in the men's room. The radio station doesn't know the difference, and

the frequencies and wavelengths are the same in any case,

What physical property is different between visible waves and radio wave?

The length.


What is the longest wave length?

Radio waves are the electromagnetic waves with longest wavelength.


How is it possible that you hear radio broadcasts with no radio?

any time objects resonate with a radio signal's frequency you have the makings of a crude radio. If those objects react in a way that allow the changes of the radio signal to make noise, you'll hear the audio. This happens when pipes, tape measures, air ducts, electrical and phone wires, are near the same length as a broadcast radio wave. The changes in the radio signal, or modulation, can get passed into other objects through corrosion between pipes, phone wiring, light fixtures and blubs, rain gutters and roofs, exhaust pipes and water heaters, furniture and floors, and so on. Generally, it only happens within a mile or so of a high power AM tower.


Calculate the wavelenght of a radio wave whose frequencey is 900 kHZ v 3.00 10 m s?

The length of a radio wave at 900 kHz is 3331/3 meters, or about 1093.6 feet.


The main difference between a radio wave and a light wave is?

The difference between a radio wave and a x-ray is the fact that x-rays have a much higher frequency. Since higher frequency means more energy in electromagnetic waves, x-rays can be used for purposes such as taking photos of things inside the body. Radio waves are at a lower frequency and have a much longer wavelength. They are used in radio, television, and communication.

What electromagnetic wave does a camera use?

it uses a radio wave as it has a big wave length. it is an electro magnet that needs to be heated to work.


Why is the transmission not as constant with the xts as it was with the gtx?

A digital wave length emits a constant signal that quickly declines when out of range (XTS3000 portable radio) An analog wave length gradually declines when out of range (GTX radio)
