Question 13 • Physics in the Universe

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

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

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.
