RADIO WAVES IN THE ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM

Wavelength and its relation to other wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum Radio waves have the biggest and longest wavelengths in the Electromagnetic spectrum. These waves can range from as long as one football pitch to as small as a football. All radios today, however, use continuous sine waves to transmit information (audio, video and data). The reason why we use continuous sine waves today is because there are so many different people and devices that …

…radio waves to heat up the food you place in it! Dangers and negatives- the bad it does If a human was to be in a strong radio wave field, the electrons and ions inside the body would try and keep up with the oscillations from the radio waves. Prolonged contact to large intensity of radio waves can cause damage to the eyes and it also can cook the eye lens enough to cause cataracts.
