radio waves propagate through air or penetrate material more than visible light. is it correct? why
That is not always true. X-rays penetrate deeper through matter than visible light, yet are of a shorter wavelength.UltrafastPED said:Longer wave lengths always penetrate deeper than shorter wavelengths.

Radio waves and visible light are both forms of electromagnetic radiation, which are energy waves that travel through space. They differ in terms of their wavelengths and frequencies, which determine the type of energy they carry.
Radio waves have longer wavelengths and lower frequencies compared to visible light. This means that they have lower energy and cannot be detected by the human eye. Visible light, on the other hand, has shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies, which allows us to see it.
Yes, both radio waves and visible light can be used for communication and transmission of information. However, they are used in different ways and have different applications. Radio waves are commonly used for long-distance communication, while visible light is used for short-range communication.
Yes, radio waves and visible light can behave differently when they pass through certain materials or environments. For example, visible light can be refracted or absorbed by objects, while radio waves can pass through them. This is why different types of electromagnetic radiation are used for different purposes.
Radio waves are used in many technologies, such as radios, televisions, and cell phones. They are also used for navigation systems, such as GPS. Visible light is used for lighting and vision, as well as in technologies like fiber optics for high-speed internet. Both forms of radiation are essential for our daily lives and have many practical applications.
