When you listen to the radio, you are hearing sound, which has no resemblance
to light, radio waves, or x-rays. However, the sounds you hear are created in
the radio receiver, using information that was carried to your location by means
of radio waves.

What is an antenna used in space for?
Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic radiation, and they don't require a medium to pass through (like water, sound, or seismic waves.) So they work in space, which makes it real handy for astronauts for communicate with each other.
What is EMF used for?
assuming you mean electromotive force: emf is the main principle behind power transformers. emf also comes in the form of radio waves, which are used for radio transmission (obviously)
What type of electromagnetic wave is the largest?
The section we call 'radio'. Of course, there's no end to the electromagnetic spectrum, at least not on the low-frequency end, so there's really no such thing as "greatest" wavelength. As frequencies go down past radio and below, wavelength just keeps getting longer ... the bit of radiation from the 60 Hz utility power lines has a wavelength of almost 5,000 kilometers ( ! ! ). But we don't use anything down there in the form of radiation ... antennas would need to be gigantic in order to be the least bit efficient ... so there's no popular name for the radiated form. The 'generic' answer to the question is: The type with the lowest frequency.
How do you prevent signal interference with other electrical devices?
It depends on the type of interference, but most shielded cables are used in a copper cable setup. You could also use fiber optic cable if concerned about electrical devices but it might prove too expensive.
What are the electronics and communication engineering applications of vector calculus?
The theory of radio waves and waveguides is explained in terms of equations in the form of vector calculus. Examples are Maxwell's equations.
What are not detected by telescopes Radio waves sound waves X rays Visible light?
"Sound waves" is the only item on that list that is not a form of electromagnetic radiation, so no form of 'telescope' works for sound.
Is a electromagnetic waves a form of sound?
No. Electromagnetic waves are light waves that include gamma waves, x-rays, UV light, visible light, infrared light, microwaves, TV waves, and radio waves--basically any form of radiation.
Which of the following is not a form of radiation A Radio waves B Sound waves C Microwaves D Gamma waves?
Sound waves
Can you convert sound waves to light waves or viseversa?
Yes, this happens all the time with communications. As radio and microwaves from mobile phones and radios are a form of the EM spectrum, which are converted into sound waves in the form of a person speaking or a song playing.
What are radio waves related to?
Radio waves are a form of light except you can't see them the only form of light you can see is visible light (duh!!) there are 7 types of light in this order there frequency and radiation power increases Radio waves Microwaves In-fared Visible light Ultra violent X - ray Gamma ray
What is the reason for ultrasonic waves not being in the form of electromagnetic waves?
Ultrasonic waves are high frequency sonic waves. They're sound, which is mechanical energy. Electromagnetic waves are waves of electromagnetic energy, like radio waves or light. Mechanical energy is different from electromagnetic energy, hence the reason for ultrasonic waves not taking the form of electromagnetic waves.
Do both sound and light travel in air in longitude form?
No; electromagnetic waves - this includes light - are always transverse waves.
How is a radio telescope different from a refracting telescope?
A radio telescope detects light in the form of radio waves and a refracting telescope detects light in the visible wavelengths
Is radio waves a form of radiation?
Yes, radio waves are electromagnetic waves.They are in the part of the spectrum with the longer wavelengths, longer than microwaves, and visible light waves.
Why do electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light?
Radio-waves, like light, are electromagnetic waves and hence travel at the speed of light.
Is sound wave and light waves a form of energy?
Newton says "yes"
For radio broadcasts sound signals are converted to?
For radio broadcasting, sound waves are converted to electrical waves that are further transmitted. This transformation is done by a device called a transducer, which converts physical parameters into an electrical form (signals).
