What can radio waves be caused by?
Oscillations
in electrical
circuits
(e.g. alternating current)
In radio signals, the frequency of the radio wave produced matches the what?
The
frequency
of the
electrical
oscillation - this is how a radio signal is produced
How is signal received?
When radio waves are absorbed by a
conductor
, they create an
alternating
current with the same
frequency
as the radio wave
What happens when an oscillation is induced in an electrical circuit?
It creates an
electrical
signal that matches the
wave
