radio wave
Invisible broadcast carrier
Radio waves are electromagnetic radiation with the longest wavelengths and lowest frequencies, used to transmit information wirelessly.
They carry signals for broadcast radio and television, cell phones, Wi-Fi, and satellite communications.
Radio waves travel at the speed of light and can pass through walls and other solid objects, making them ideal for wireless transmission.
