When a wave's wavelength is larger than the size of an object, the wave flows around the object, and has no significant effect on the internals of that object. Because the wavelength of a radio wave is much larger than the light-sensitive protein in the retina of the human eye, a radio wave does not trigger the change in that protein that would cause a neural signal to be sent to the brain.

∙ 10y agoYour eye responds to electromagnetic waves within a certain range of
wavelengths. When longer or shorter waves ... outside that range ...
enter your eye, there's no response.
The shortest radio wave is about 1,330 times as long as the longest wave
that your eye responds to.

What are fundamentally different from the others a. gamma rays b. Radio waves c. sound waves d. light waves e. xrays?
Sound waves. All the others are forms of electromagnetic radiation (visible and invisible light).
Does mechinal waves have radio waves?
no, mechanical waves are not radio waves
How are electromagnetic waves different to radio waves?
Radio waves ARE electromagnetic waves.
What is a radio wave?
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.
Was the radio named after radio waves or were radio waves named after the radio?
Radio waves were discovered before the radio was invented.
What is An energy created by a series of invisible waves is?
Radio Waves
Invisible radiation having the longest wavelenghts?
Electric waves produced due to lightning and radio waves (Long waves) are invisible electro magnetic radiations.
What is an invisible radiation having the longest wavelength?
radio waves
Do radio waves all look alike?
Sure, considering they are all invisible.
Which type of invisible radiation can be detected from earths surface?
Radio waves are one example.
What is radio astromony?
astronomy using radio waves, rather than visible light. visible light and radio waves are essentially the same, only radio waves have a much longer wavelength. not everything emits light in the visible band, many otherwise invisible objects can only be detected using extreme wavelengths.
What is the duration of Invisible Waves?
The duration of Invisible Waves is 1.92 hours.
When was Invisible Waves created?
Invisible Waves was created on 2006-02-14.
What are fundamentally different from the others a. gamma rays b. Radio waves c. sound waves d. light waves e. xrays?
Sound waves. All the others are forms of electromagnetic radiation (visible and invisible light).
Does mechinal waves have radio waves?
no, mechanical waves are not radio waves
What can you not see or smell?
You can not smell Natural Gas, it is invisible, and odorless because it is burned.Several things, including gravity, light, radio waves, xrays.
Are radio waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Transverse. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which are transverse.
