True or false radio waves are electromagnetic waves?
False
What is an example of a longitudinal wave?
Sound waves are an example of Longitudinal waves. They are waves in which the particle is displaced in a parallel direction to the direction of velocity of the wave. They are formed by a compression and expansion of particles.sound is an example for longitudinal wavesound waveLongitudinal waves, also known as "l-waves", are waves in which the displacement of the medium is in the same direction as, or the opposite direction to, the direction of travel of the wave.
Which travels faster radio waves or microwaves?
-- Microwave ARE radio waves.-- All electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed, including radio, microwaves,heat, infrared radiation, light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, gamma rays, and allthe others.
Does infrared move at the same speed as radio waves?
Infrared waves and radio waves both travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, which is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second. This means that they move at the same speed.
What are longitudinal waves and how do they relate to sound waves?
Longitudinal waves are waves in which the particles of the medium vibrate back and forth in the same direction as the wave is moving. Sound waves are a type of longitudinal wave, where the vibrations of air particles create the sensation of sound. Sound waves travel through a medium, such as air, by compressing and rarefying the particles in the same direction as the wave is moving.
True or false radio waves are electromagnetic waves?
False
What travels faster the sound from a person or a radio waves sent to a radio?
Sound travels at the speed of sound, whereas radio waves travel at the speed of light. The speed of radio waves is much faster than the speed of sound. If you're seated high in the stands at a baseball game, watching it on the field and listening to the game on the radio at the same time, it's quite common to hear the crack of the bat on the radio before you hear it straight from Home Plate.
Do radio waves travel at the speed of sound at the speed of light or at some speed in between?
'Radio' waves are physically and electrically identical to light waves except for their frequency (wavelength), and they travel at the same speed as light does.
Where does the word sonar originate from?
It's an acronym for SOund Navigation And Ranging, pretty much the same as RADAR, RAdio Detection And Ranging, but working with sound waves instead of radio waves. Both got their big break in WWII.

If a radio is used to transmit sound does that mean that the radio and sound waves travel at the same speed?
No. The radio doesn't transmit sound. It transmits information that can be used to construct a replica (copy) of the sound at the receiver. Everybody listening to the same program hears it at the same time ... whether they live 1 mile or 5,000 miles from the transmitter. If the radio wave traveled at the same speed as sound, then everybody would hear it at different times, ranging from seconds to hours after it was transmitted. The balance in your bank account can also be transmitted by radio. That doesn't mean that radio and money travel at the same speed.
Which travels faster-radio waves or sound waves?
Radio wave travel faster than sound wave. Radio wave is the same as light wave except at different wavelength. It travel at speed of light (3 x 108 m/s). Sound wave travel at only 330 m/s and probably can go up to 3,300 m/s in solid medium which is far slower than the speed of light.
Does a radio wave travel faster than a sound wave?
Radio waves are sound. Therefore, yes, by definition, they travel at the speed of sound.
Is a seismic wave the same as a radio wave?
No. Seismic waves are mechanical. Radio waves are electromagnetic.
Was the radio named after radio waves or were radio waves named after the radio?
Radio waves were discovered before the radio was invented.
Do micro waves move faster than the radio waves?
Microwaves ARE radio waves, and they move with the same speed as all other electromagnetic waves.
Are visible light waves the same as sound waves?
No.
