What is the difference between radio waves and sound from a radio?
No, a radio wave is not a mechanical wave. A radio wave is a form of electromagnetic (EM) energy, and it does not require a medium through which to travel like a mechanical wave does. Radio waves can travel through the vacuum of space. Let's contrast that with a mechanical wave.A mechanical wave involves the transfer of mechanical energy into and through a medium. Sound waves (which travel through air) and water waves (which move through water) are mechanical waves. They cannot travel without a medium through which to move.
What properties make radio waves good for communicating?
The really nice thing about radio waves is that they will make the electrons in a piece of copper wire move; this means that they generate electric currents in the wire. In fact it works both ways: alternating currents in a copper wire generate electromagnetic waves, and electromagnetic waves generate alternating currents. The electric currents at "radio frequencies" (rf) are used by radio and television transmitters and receivers. I use frequencies of 145MHz (VHF), 14MHz (20m HF) and 3.7MHz (80m HF).
Where does radio wave fit into the electromagnetic spectrum?
Here are the ways you use the radio portion of the electromagnetic spectrumjust while you're in your car :-- listen to the traffic and weather reports-- listen to music and news-- use your GPS to find an address-- get a call on your cellphone-- talk on your CB-- open the garage door without getting out of the car in the rain
What Christian bands sound like Cold's albums 13 Ways to Bleed on Stage and Year of the Spider?
Red, Grammatrain, Beyond the Rage, and other bands similar to these.
What are two ways someone can change the sound of an instrument?
Two ways that you can change the sound of an instrument are tuning or adjustment of the valves. Another way to change the sound of an instrument is to change your technique of blowing or bowing technique. I am sure there are more ways but here are some ideas!
What three ways can differ electromagnetic waves from sound waves?
Electromagnetic waves are transverse in nature where as sound waves are longitudinal. Electromagnetic waves can pass even through vacuum but sound waves are mechanical waves that means it needs badly a material medium Sound waves can be sensed by ear where as electromagnetic waves are sensed by eyes.
In what ways are sound waves and electromagnetic waves different?
They travel at different speeds.
What are three ways that sound waves interact?
The three ways that sound waves interact are: reflection, diffraction, refraction.
What is different between electromagnetic and matter waves?
Electromagnetic waves are very much different from the matter waves and in many ways. a) Speed of matter waves is very much less than the speed of electromagnetic waves. b) Matter waves cannot be radiated in empty space unlike electromagnetic waves. c) Matter waves are just associated with the particle, not emitted by it Matter waves have smaller wave lengths than electromagnetic waves
In what ways might two electromagnetic waves differ?
In frequency or wavelength.
What are five ways electromagnetic waves differ from each other?
need to describe in five ways how electronic waves differ each other
Can sound travel in ways other than sound waves?
No
What is similar between the sound wave and the light wave?
Both are ways to transport energy from point a, to point b. Both sound and light waves have a speed, wavelength and frequency. Both can be diffracted, reflected and refracted, as those are properties of waves.
What are ways to transmit data in space?
Basically, some kind of electromagnetic radiation is used: radio waves, light, etc.Basically, some kind of electromagnetic radiation is used: radio waves, light, etc.Basically, some kind of electromagnetic radiation is used: radio waves, light, etc.Basically, some kind of electromagnetic radiation is used: radio waves, light, etc.
In what ways can energy travel through empty space?
Electromagnetic waves, such as infrared and visible light
What two ways are light and sound different?
sound waves are faster in water than in land, light waves are faster in land
What are the ways of reducing sound wave transmission?
ultraveling waves
