What do light waves sound waves and radio waves all have in common?

Light waves, sound waves, and radio waves are all forms of energy that propagate through a medium (such as air or space) in the form of waves. They all have different wavelengths and frequencies, which determine their properties and how they interact with the environment.


What waves occur when the motion of the medium is at right angles to the direction of the waves?

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.


How far do radio waves travel and what factors affect their range?

Radio waves can travel long distances, sometimes thousands of miles, depending on factors like frequency, power, and obstacles in the environment. The range of radio waves can be affected by interference, atmospheric conditions, and the curvature of the Earth.


Are radio waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?

Transverse. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which are transverse.


What waves occur when the motion of the medium is at the right angles?

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.

Do waves occur only in water?

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.

How do very long radio waves reach stations beyond the curvature of the Earth?

Radio waves, like all forms of electro magnetic radiation are affected by gravity, so the Earth's mass helps to bend the radio waves to an extent. Beyond that, radio waves can be reflected naturally by atmospheric conditions, but generally, when a radio signal needs to be transmitted a significant distance, it is done by a series of radio towers in relay.AnswerThe condition is called 'skip'. The waves bounce off the ionisphere and back to earth way past the curvature.


How are electromagnetic waves different to radio waves?

Radio waves ARE electromagnetic waves.


Are radio waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?

Transverse. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which are transverse.


Are radar waves visible?

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.

What energy conversions occur in a radio?

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.


How are radio and television waves added to em radio waves?

by changing the amplitude or frequency of the radio waves.
