Radio Waves

Derek Haumpy     Avery Cowley    Isaiah Moss    Drew Watts

Frequency, wavelength, Location on spectrum, and examples

  • The frequency of radio waves ranges from 1*10^3 Hz - 1*10^6 Hz.
  • The average radio wave wavelength is 10^3 meters.
  • Radio waves are the lowest on the electromagnetic spectrum.
  • Examples include radios, TV, and cell phones.

Radio waves in everyday life

  • Microwaves 
  • Radio Stations
  • Wi-fi
  • Bluetooth
  • TV Stations
Drew Watts

Radiowaves are what we use to connect technology between people. It is a very important part of our modern way of life. Without it we would not be able to use these devices.

Medical and scientific applications

  • Radio telescopes
  • Quasars can be seen with radio telescopes
  • Used for communication
  • Transmitting heartbeat from your home to a hospital
  • Paramedics are dispatched with radios

radio telescopes arent afected by sunlight, clouds, and rain

Negative effects

  • A negative effect is the speed up recovery
  • while oneself is sick.
  • Many businesses today have restricted
  • the total energy of radio waves.

Future Uses

  • Radio Astronomy
  • Tapping energy from radio waves
  • Better navigation on aircraft and ships

1. Radio astronomy allows us to see things that are not detectable in optical astronomy. Such objects represent some of the most extreme and energetic physical processes in the universe.
2. Researchers have found a way to tap the energy from these electromagnetic waves to power small wireless devices. And the technology needed to do so can be printed on a piece of paper.
3. Radio waves have enabled better navigation on aircraft and ships. They send signals and then they receive them from the reflection.
