Can electromagnetic waves be turned into each other?

AI Thread Summary
Electromagnetic waves can be transformed into different frequencies using techniques like wavelength shifters and acousto-optic modulators. The discussion highlights the possibility of converting radio waves into gamma waves, although this involves complex processes and significant energy requirements. Gravitational red/blue shifting is also mentioned as a form of frequency change. A suggestion is made to harvest energy from radio waves to power a gamma ray generator, illustrating a practical application of the concept. Overall, the conversation explores the theoretical and practical aspects of electromagnetic wave transformation.

hey, i was wondering if this can be possible by human force, if so why are we not finding this?

What is the difference between "one electromagnetic wave" and "another one"? Does a mirror count?

If you want to change the frequency: this is possible with wavelength shifters, acousto-optic modulators, frequency doubling and a few other techiques.
 
Or simply affect a (large) difference in velocity between yourself and the emitter.
 
Does gravitational red/blue shifting also counts?
 
Hi jukzzhd,

I see that people had trouble with a previous question from you because you tried to translate it from your native language into English:

After you tried again with more words and detail, people could see what you were really asking about. I suggest you try that here also.
 
actually i mean like, if we can turn radio waves into gamma waves ? sorry for the mistake I've made.

Set up a radio receiver to harvest the energy from radio waves to charge a large battery. Use the large battery to power a gamma ray generator.
