How do radio waves travel through walls?

Answer 1

I beleive the correct answer is the waves are called transverse waves meaning they go up and down but along a line of symmetry and if the wavelength is short enough (meaning the up and down parts are more squashed together) it can go thru the particles of the wall however it cannot go through all metals. radio waves are mainly used for space exploration since many of the radiation in space is called gamma rays which can go through everysingle object since the waves are so small and the radio dish can receive the signal.

Answer 2

Propagation of Radio Waves
Propagation is a term that applies to the way radio waves travel. There are three main modes of travel. One is a straight line travel. This is the way radio waves travel through deep space. Another way is skip, which is bouncing between the surface of the earth and the ionosphere. Wavelengths between 3 MHz and 30 MHz are most reliable for this kind of propagation, called High Frequency. The third way is to hug the surface of the earth as it curves around. Radio waves of very low frequency most often travel this way

Answer 3

Radio waves are a name for one frequency range of electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic radiation is generally described as a self-propagating wave in space with electric and magnetic components.

When EM radiation impinges upon a conductor, it couples to the conductor, travels along it, and induces an electric current on the surface of that conductor by exciting the electrons of the conducting material.

Answer 4

Radio waves, as you may know, are simply low frequency light. As clear glass lets all visible light through, tinted glass may let only a certain color through (red stained glass only lets red light through). Walls are transparent to radio "colored" light. I call it radio colored because the distinction between colors is due to different frequencies, the same property that distinguishes radio from infrared from visible light and so on.

Answer 5

If the wall or barrier has an atomic structure that has holes big enough in it to allow the wave to pass through it. Lead for example will not because its atomic structure is so densely packed.

Answer 6

Same way light travels through a window.

Answer 7

what witch craft is this you talk of?waves that travel through walls i have never heard of such things
