Question 21 • Physics

Which property makes radio waves ideal for carrying and transmitting data?

Answer
A
traveling faster than the speed of light
B
having long wavelengths
C
having high frequencies
D
transferring high amounts of energy

Explanation

Radio waves have long wavelengths, which allow them to travel long distances and pass through many obstacles, making them useful for carrying and transmitting data. They do not travel faster than light; in a vacuum, radio waves travel at the speed of light. Their frequencies and energy are generally lower than those of many other electromagnetic waves.
