A radio wave is an electromagnetic wave. It's a form of electromagnetic radiation.
The term "radio" is the name given to a part of the spectrum of electromagnetic waves that is used for radio and television broadcasting, mobile phones, terrestrial and satellite wireless communications networks, etc.
The whole wide spectrum of electromagnetic waves has frequencies (and wavelengths) ranging from "audio" to "radio" to "infrared" to "visual light" to "X-Rays", and beyond to "gamma rays" at the very top end of the spectrum.

Explain why the energy of infrared waves is greater than the energy of radio waves?
The energy of infrared waves is greater than the energy of radio waves. This is because infrared waves has a smaller wavelength compared to radio waves. The smaller the wavelength, the higher the energy.
What waves have the least energy in the electromagnetic spectrum?
. APEX: radio waves
What travels faster radio waves or ultraviolet waves?
neither... they both are electromagnetic waves and therefore travel at the same speed... but ultraviolet waves have a higher frequency and also have more energy than radio waves
What form of energy travels in varying wavelengths such as visible light infrared waves radio waves ultraviolet waves and X rays?
The electromagnetic spectrum includes visible light radio waves and infrared ultraviolet and x-rays.
What is a radio waves energy?
(The power of the radio transmitter) times (the length of time it continues to transmit)
Is a radio mechanical energy?
No. Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic waves.
What type of radio waves energy have?
Radiant energy. They are the first type of wave in the electromagnetic spectrum.
Which type of electromagnetic wave has less energy than an infrared wave?
Waves with lower frequency: for example radio waves.
Explain why the energy of infrared waves is greater than the energy of radio waves?
The energy of infrared waves is greater than the energy of radio waves. This is because infrared waves has a smaller wavelength compared to radio waves. The smaller the wavelength, the higher the energy.
What type of energy is wave?
Radio waves carry electromagnetic energy, just like light, X-rays, and microwaves.
Are AM radio waves are an example of longitudinal waves?
No. Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic waves; electroctromagnetic waves are transverse waves.
Are radio waves a type of mechanical wave or a type of electromagnetic wave?
Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic wave.
What is An energy created by a series of invisible waves is?
Radio Waves
What type of energy is used with full body scanners in the aiport?
Those are "millimeter waves" ... radio waves in the general neighborhood of 300 GHz.
What radio wave with the greatest energy?
Radio waves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic waves with the greatest energy are gamma rays.
What is one low energy electromagnetic wave?
Radio waves. But the question should be, "What is one type of low energy electromagnetic wave?"
What forms of energy are in a radio?
radio waves. true story.
