radiowave
Invisible broadcast carrier
A radiowave is an electromagnetic wave at the low-frequency end of the spectrum, used to transmit signals for communication, broadcasting, and navigation.
Radio waves carry everything from AM and FM broadcasts to Wi-Fi and cellular signals.
Usually written as two words: radio wave.
