In what waves are the particles farther apart than normal?

Infrared and radio waves have longer wavelengths, which means the particles are farther apart than in higher energy waves like ultraviolet or X-rays.


Why do am radio waves diffract more than FM radio waves?

AM radio waves have longer wavelengths compared to FM radio waves. This means that AM waves are better able to diffract around obstacles and travel farther distances. FM radio waves, with their shorter wavelengths, are less prone to diffraction and tend to travel in straight lines, making them more susceptible to obstacles blocking their path.


Was the radio named after radio waves or were radio waves named after the radio?

Radio waves were discovered before the radio was invented.


Which is stronger X-rays or radio waves?

X-rays tend to be stronger than radio waves. Rays are normally stronger because of the type of beam not a wide spreading wave and can maintain it's strength. As for a wave, since it spreads farther and longer it loses it's power/strength.


Does lead block radio waves?

Yes, lead can block radio waves because it is a dense material that can absorb and reflect electromagnetic radiation, including radio waves.


Why are satellite used to relay radio waves?

Satellites are used to relay radio waves to the other side of the world because radio waves cannot travel directly through the Earth.


Which has a higher frequencies am radio waves or fm radio waves?

FM radio has the higher frequency which is why it sounds better. AM is a lower frequency but can travel further because the waves bounce off


What is the exact temperature for radio waves?

radio waves dont have a temperature because they are comprised of energy and photons, not ordinary matter


Is radio wave longitude or transverse?

A radio wave is an electromagnetic wave. Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves.


Explain why the energy of infrared waves is greater than the energy of radio waves?

The energy of infrared waves is greater than the energy of radio waves. This is because infrared waves has a smaller wavelength compared to radio waves. The smaller the wavelength, the higher the energy.


Does mechinal waves have radio waves?

no, mechanical waves are not radio waves


What is it called when waves are farther apart?

When waves are farther apart, it is referred to as having a longer wavelength.
