They're found everywhere.
When you consider that radio waves are sent out by every radio or TV station,
every police or fire walkie-talkie, taxicab dispatcher, Bluetooth device, cordless
telephone, garage door opener, cellphone, and smartphone in the world, you
start to realize that no matter where you are, the room you're sitting in right
now is bathed in the radio waves from a million sources or more.
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.
Radio waves were discovered before the radio was invented.
Yes, radio waves occur naturally in the environment as a form of electromagnetic radiation.
Waves can occur in any liquid. Waves can also be propagated through rock, during an earthquake, and the same mathematics that describes water waves also describes waves in electromagnetic energy such as light or radio.
Transverse waves occur when particles in the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave. In these waves, the oscillation of the particles is up and down or side to side. Examples include electromagnetic waves like light and radio waves, as well as waves on a string.

Transverse. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which are transverse.
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.
Transverse waves occur when the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave. In these waves, the vibrations are up and down, side to side, or in any direction perpendicular to the wave's direction of propagation. Examples of transverse waves include light waves, water waves, and seismic S-waves.
In a radio, electrical energy from the batteries or outlet is converted into electromagnetic waves by the transmitter. These waves travel to the receiver where they are converted back into electrical signals, which are then converted into sound waves that we hear through the speaker.
by changing the amplitude or frequency of the radio waves.
Radio waves are electromagnetic waves occurring on the radio frequency portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Radio Waves - radio station - was created in 2010.
