RADIO

WAVES
Radio Waves
have the
longest
wavelength
in the
electromag
netic
spectrum.
They are produced
by making
electrons vibrate
in an antenna.
 They are used to
transmit sound and
picture
information over
long distances.
 Radio waves have a very
wide range of
wavelengths. The whole
region of the radio waves is
divided into smaller
regions or wavebands.
 One thousand hertz is referred to as
a kilohertz (KHz)
1 million hertz as a megahertz
(MHz)
1 billion hertz as a gigahertz (GHz)
 Medium and
high
frequency
waves are
used for
broadcasting
by local
radio stations.
