RADIO WAVES

 Radio Waves are essentially invisible signals that can be received by various different
devices.

 Radio Waves are one of the longest wavelenghts in the electromagnetic spectrum and
have a whole variety of uses other than allowing you to listen to music on the radio.

 They are used to transmit radio and television signal.

 Consider the reception of radio waves between AM and FM bands.

 Consider the reception of radio waves between AM and FM bands.

  Radio waves of the standard AM broadcast band have longer wavelength(ranging from
180-550 meters) compared to the short radio waves for FM band (ranging from 2.8-3.4
meters).

RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) is a rate of oscillation in the range of about 3 kHz to 300 GHz,
which corresponds to the frequency of the radio waves, and the alternating currents that carry
radio signals .
The transmission and reception of radio waves is dependent on oscillating charges. The
acceleration of the electrons in the antenna wire of the transmitter produce a changing electric
filed around the wire which goes on continously and produce radio waves that propagate at the
velocity the same as the speed of light.
Radio development began as a wireless telegraphy, a historical term for early radio
telegraph communoications techniques and practices, particularly those usec during the first
three decades of radio (1887 to 1920). As early as 1970s, the first fixed semaphore system
(visual telegraphy) was developed in Europe, but it was not until 1830s that electrical
communication system has started to appear.
One of the early experiments in electrical telegraphy was an electrochemical telegraph
created by Samuel Thomas von Sommering in 1809. Sir Charles Wheatstone and Sir William
Fothergill Cook constructed the first commercial electrical telegraph in England, while Samuel
Morse was also doing his own version of the same technology on the other side of the Atlantic
Ocean.
However, it was James Clerk Maxwell who showed mathematically that electromagnetic
waves could propagate through free space. Heinrich Rudolf Hertz and many others
demonstrated, on a laboratory scale, radio wave propagation.
Nikola Tesla experimented on the transmission and radiation of radio frequency energy
and proposed for the telecommunication of information.
In 1876, the conventional telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell. Years after
its patent to Bell, the technology grew quickly, enabling telephone exchanges in every major city
of the United States by the mid-1880s.
In terms of radio and television, James Lindsay demonstrated wireless telegraphy within
a two-mile distance using water as a transmission medium in 1854.
Around the turn of the century, the Slaby-Arco Wireless System was developed by Adolf
Slaby and George von Arco.
In 1900, Reginald Feseenden made a weak transmission of voice over the airwaves.
Gugliemo Marconi was the first to demonstrate the application of radio in commercial, military,
and marine communications and started a company for the development and propagation of radio
communication services and equipment.
 In 1901, he conducted the first successful transatlantic experimental radio
communications, which gave him the patent for the invention of radio and Nobel Prize in Physics
in 1909.
In October 1925, Scottish inventor, John Logie Baird, was able to obtain moving pictures
with halftone shades, which were, by most accounts, the first true television pictures. His device
was known as the mechanical television, which was the basis of semi-experimental broadcasts
done by the British Broadcasting Corporation beginning September 30, 1929.

Generalization:

Khyle Almoite
-In this lesson we learned that radio waves are longest wavelengths in the electromagnetic
spectrum. used for communication such as television and radio. Radio waves are transmitted
easily through air. They do not cause damage if absorbed by the human body, and they can be
reflected and refracted to change their direction.

Krizzy Lee Labugen

-A radio wave is generated by a transmitter and then detected by a receiver. An antenna allows a
radio transmitter to send energy into space and a receiver to pick up energy from space

Paul Anthony Nilo

-Radio waves have the longest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum. They range from
the length of a football to larger than our planet. Heinrich Hertz proved the existence of radio
waves in the late 1880s. He used a spark gap attached to an induction coil and a separate spark
gap on a receiving antenna.
