Question

Which of the following describe advantages of using radio waves over other electromagnetic waves to transmit information to Earth? Select ALL that apply.

A
Radio waves travel faster.

B
Radio waves take less energy to produce.

C
Radio waves transmit more types of information.

D
Radio waves have a lower frequency, which makes them safer for humans.

E
Radio waves have higher energy, which makes their signal easier to capture.

Answer 1

The correct options are:

D

"Radio waves have a lower frequency, which makes them safer for humans."

B

"Radio waves take less energy to produce."

Why do we radio waves over other electromagnetic waves to transmit information to Earth?

Radio waves are electromagnetic waves with frequencies on the range from 10 KHz to 10 THz.

Now, remember that all electromagnetic waves have the same speed, which is the speed of light, and the energy of a wave is proportional to its frequency.

Particularly, we can see that radio waves have small frequencies (smaller than infrared light) so these waves carry very little energy.

With that in mind, the correct options are.

D

"Radio waves have a lower frequency, which makes them safer for humans."

B

"Radio waves take less energy to produce."

These are the two main reasons of why we use radio waves.
