When an electrical field changes sign, some of the energy will radiate into space. When the sign reverses the field will change again.

Thus radiated into space at approx the speed of light will be a series of electromagnetic waves.

These waves can also carry modulation - a characteristic of the wave may be varied. In the simplest form, the amplitude of the radio wave (commonly known as the carrier) may be varied by applying a speech signal for example.

Several other modulation styles are also available, and I'll just name them, rather than describing them. Phase Modulation, Frequency Modulation, Pulse Modulation.

In addition, the polarization of a wave may be varied.

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.

Is radio wave can cut out electrics?

Radio waves themselves do not cut out electronics, but they can interfere with electronic devices if the frequency of the radio wave overlaps with the device's operational frequency. This interference can cause malfunctions or disruptions in communication, but it won't physically cut off power. In some cases, strong radio signals can induce currents in nearby circuits, potentially affecting their operation. However, this is more about interference than cutting out electrics.

What is the cause of error in wireless communication?

normally, it is where a radio wave is interfering with the communication wave that you are sending out (I think).


How can radio wave laser technology be utilized for communication and data transmission?

Radio wave laser technology can be used for communication and data transmission by converting radio waves into laser beams, which can then be transmitted over long distances with high speed and accuracy. This technology allows for more efficient and secure communication, making it ideal for applications such as satellite communication, wireless networks, and data transfer in various industries.

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

The main difference between a radio wave and a light wave is their wavelengths. Light waves have shorter wavelengths compared to radio waves. Additionally, light waves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum that can be seen by the human eye, whereas radio waves are typically used for communication and have longer wavelengths.

What is frequency of a satellite wave?

I never heard of a "satellite wave". If you mean the radio waves used by satellites for communication - well, like all radio waves used for such purposes, there is probably a large range of waves they can use.
