Radio = sound wave

T.V. = light wave [and sound from the speakers <33]

That is completely wrong. Radio and television signals are both sent by RADIO WAVES.

Digital signal in free space?

Electromagnetic radiation (radio waves, light) travels in free space. This radiation can be encoded to carry either analog information or digital information. An example of analog-encoded radiation is that emitted by an AM radio station. Examples of digitally-encoded radiation are a wireless home computer network and the next generation of television broadcasting.


Instances in the home where traverse waves are used?

If you mean "transverse" waves, then any electromagnetic wave is transverse- Examples--light and microwaves


Which type of electromagnetic radiation is used to send signals from a tv remote control?

There are a number of different types of remote controls. As regards those used most around the home, we find that infrared light is the most commonly applied one. Infrared light is light just below the visible spectrum. TV's, DVD players and audio systems usually use this kind of device. They're very common, but there are other types of remote controls in common usage.Remote controls for garage doors, gates and the like use radio waves in the 300 MHz to 400 MHz range. We also see radio waves on frequencies just above 70 MHz used for many remote control (RC) model aircraft and vehicles. Again we see radio waves used in most remote controls for video games. But these operate in the microwave band somewhere around 2.4 GHz, in case you wish to differentiate microwaves from "regular" or lower frequency radio waves.

How far from home can you travel before you no longer hear local radio stations?

It depends on the signal strength of the radio station and its antenna, competing radio frequencies, the land's terrain, and the atmospheric conditions. Radio waves can travel great distances without obstacles. Depending on atmospheric conditions, the radio waves can travel hundreds of miles out of the local range. For example, you might pick up a Texas broadcast in the Northeast.) However, if the terrain is hilly or mountainous, the signal would not travel as far. Generally speaking, radio waves can travel about a 50 mile radius from the station's antenna.*It can also depend on whether it is an AM or FM station, and what other stations compete for a near-bandwidth.

Radio waves carry a blank from a station to your home?

The signal is transmitted by way of electromagnetic radiation, the same type of energy that, within the visible spectrum, makes up light. The signal can maintain an analog profile, or the signal can be transmitted digitally, but the energy form is the same. However it is transmitted, the radio converts the signal to sound by way of the speaker elements to your ear.


Where can a person purchase a home weather station?

There are several places to purchase a home weather station. You can purchase a home weather station on Amazon, Weather Shack, Sears, Target, eBay, Radio Shack, and Weather Buffs.


What is the Fan590 website known for?

The Fan 590 website is a well known Toronto sport's radio. The website allows users to listen to the radio station, directly from the home page. There is a feature, which allows audiences to rate and comment about the radio station.

Can radio waves penetrate Earth's atmosphere?

yes, this is why we had two-way radio contact ( and still do) with NASA manned space craft. Also don't forget . . . -- radio contact with Apollo astronauts on the moon -- radio contact with the International Space Station -- receiving pictures and data from the Hubble Space Telescope -- receiving TV at home from stationary satellites -- radio contact with Curiosity on Mars -- radio-astronomy


What home appliances use electromagnetic waves?

Microwaves. They give off microwaves! Also light bulbs (visible EM), heating coils (infra-red EM), and ovens (infra-red EM). Also radios and TVs receive radio waves, garage-door openers generate and transmit radio waves, blow-driers irradiate the air passing through them with infrared (heat) waves, smart and dumb cellphones all send and receive radio waves, laptops on wireless home wi-fi send and receive radio waves, and their screens generate and radiate visible light waves which make it a lot easier for us to see what they're computing.


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.
