The frequency of an electromagnetic wave must be very high to release electrons. The electrons that it releases are set into oscillation in a receiving antenna must by definition have a lesser frequency.

How can electromagnetic waves carry data?

Electromagnetic waves can carry data by modulating the amplitude, frequency, or phase of the wave to encode information. This modulation scheme allows for the transmission of data signals through variations in the electromagnetic wave, which can be demodulated and decoded at the receiving end to retrieve the original information.


What is the difference between electromagnetic interference and radio frequency interference?

Electromagnetic interference, EMI, is any undesirable electromagnetic emission or any electrical or electronic disturbance, man-made or natural, which causes an undesirable response, malfunctioning or degradation in the performance of electrical equipment. Radio frequency interference, RFI, is any undesirable electrical energy with content within the frequency range dedicated to radio frequency transmission. Conducted RFI is most often found in the low frequency range of several kHz to 30MHz. Radiated RFI is most often found in the frequency range from 30MHz to 10GHz.


Why are short aerials used for receiving short wavelenght waves?

The antenna works best at a length that is a fraction of the wavelength it is receiving. Usually 1/4. This is because of resonance between the aerial and the signals carrier wave. The shorter the wave the shorter the aerial.


What type of energy is radiant energy?

It is electromagnetic radiation, which has a wide variation of frequency or wavelength, from long radio waves up to gamma radiation, and including visible light. Heat energy is radiated in the infra-red region, because that includes the frequencies which cause heating in receiving objects.


Is it possible to transmit electricity as electromagnetic waves?

Well, when you transmit something as an electromagnetic wave, it is no longer an electric current, since an electromagnetic wave doesn't involve movement of charges. However, you can convert electrical energy into an electromagnetic wave, transfer that, and then convert it back to an electric current at the receiving end.

Is covalent bond only sharing electrons or receiving?

A covalent bond is only the sharing of electrons. An ionic bond involves the losing and receiving of electrons.


What are the electrons doing in the two kinds of bonding?

in an ionic bond the electrons are gaining or receiving electrons. in a covalent bond 2 atoms are sharing electrons


What is mien by carrier frequency?

High range of frequency that carries the message signals in transmission of data.after receiving the signals, the detector seperate the message and carrier .


What does electro negativity of an element indicate?

How much an element is attracted to receiving valance electrons. The more electronegative, the more it needs electrons.


How radio communicate works?

Radio communication works on radio signals that are "beamed" into the air on a certain frequency. Frequency is a certain wavelength or band. The receiving equipment has to be set to receive the signal on the same frequency.

What is modulation index for frequency modulation?

It varies depending on how strong you want the signal to come through on the receiving end.

Is there any way to pick up a frequency to know someone has a cell phone on them?

In order to LISTEN to them: The frequency spectrums in whcih the commercial communications carriers operate are public record and commercially available radio receiving equipment is available. Therefore, if you kinow what frequency you want to listen to, simply tune it in. HOWEVER - don't be too surprised if some/much/all of it may be 'scrambled. In order to DETERMINE if a person has a cellphone on their person - yes. There are commercially available detectors which will pick up the presence of an electromagnetic field in the presence of a cellphone.


What are Electromagnetic wave transmitted by a radio station called?

Radio stations that broadcast in the AM to FM range transmit EM waves known justly as radio waves (EM waves with frequencies from 30 KHz to 300 MHz, or wavelengths from 10 km to 1 m).
