How much do you know about the radio waves? Waves are types of electromagnetic radiation, and they have the longest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum. A radio wave is created when an electric field and magnetic field join. Do you know how to switch in between signals? This quiz is a perfect way to get some new information on these types of waves and how they behave under different circumstances. Do give it a shot!
