False
False. Radio waves and sound waves are different types of waves. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves that transmit signals through the air, while sound waves are mechanical waves that transmit vibrations through a medium such as air, water, or solid objects.
True. Microwaves have shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies compared to radio waves, falling between infrared radiation and radio waves on the electromagnetic spectrum.
False. Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to travel; they can propagate through a vacuum.
True. When vibrating electric charges emit energy, it creates electromagnetic waves that can propagate through space carrying energy. This is the fundamental principle behind the transmission of energy in the form of light, radio waves, and other electromagnetic radiation.
False. An electromagnetic wave is not a mechanical wave; it is a type of wave that can travel through a vacuum, such as light or radio waves. Mechanical waves, on the other hand, require a medium to travel through, like sound waves traveling through air or water waves traveling through water.
It is true.

False. The energy from the Sun comes in the form of electromagnetic waves. Those are not mechanical waves.
False. Energy that is transferred by electromagnetic waves is called electromagnetic radiation. Conduction typically refers to the transfer of heat or electricity through a material by direct contact.
True. The electromagnetic spectrum is a range of all types of electromagnetic radiation, including radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays, arranged in order of their wavelengths and frequencies.
True. All waves, including electromagnetic waves, sound waves, and water waves, transmit energy as they propagate through a medium. This energy is carried from one place to another by the wave motion.
That means that both the frequency and the wavelength of microwaves are also between those of infrared and radio waves.
Yes, a radio transmitter converts an electronic signal (such as audio from a microphone) into radio frequency (RF) waves. These RF waves are then transmitted through antennas as electromagnetic radiation, which can be converted back into sound waves by a receiver like a radio or smartphone.
