Questioning RF Frequency & Filters

Click For Summary
RF frequencies are indeed a type of electromagnetic wave, similar to light waves, with photons differing by frequency. To transmit or receive a specific RF signal, radios tune into that frequency by adjusting internal filters, which is a simplified explanation of a more complex process. This process involves modulation and demodulation, where the radio amplifies a range of frequencies and extracts information from the modulated carrier wave. Antennas play a crucial role by converting electromagnetic waves into currents that are then amplified and filtered. Understanding RF signals and their transmission requires a deeper exploration of these principles.

My question is about RF frequency... The RFs are electromegnetics waves...That means they are one type of Light waves... right??

The other question is about perticular frequency of RF signals...When we want to transmit or receive some perticular frequency... we tune our radio at that perticular frequncy... is that mean we set parameters of filter inside the radio?

Yes, a photon is a photon. Different photons may have different frequencies, but they are all photons.

That's overly simplified. You should study modulation/demodulation. You can start at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demodulation

This is a massive subject to deal with in one thread. Look at this wiki link, which discusses the basics behind RF receivers. The essence of an Radio Receiver is that it amplifies the band of frequencies (the carrier wave with its sidebands) that carry the wanted information by filtering and amplification and then it detects / demodulates the signal to 'extract the information' from the modulated carrier wave. The resulting signal is usually amplified further, before being fed to a loudspeaker (or the display circuits, if it's a TV signal).
 
There are numerous ways to access energy at specific frequencies, and they all involve filtering in some way. Generally an antenna converts EM waves to currents which are amplified and filtered, perhaps mixed to different frequencies.
 
Thread 'I thought it was only Amazon that sold unsafe junk'
I grabbed an under cabinet LED light today at a big box store. Nothing special. 18 inches in length and made to plug several lights together. Here is a pic of the power cord: The drawing on the box led me to believe that it would accept a standard IEC cord which surprised me. But it's a variation of it. I didn't try it, but I would assume you could plug a standard IEC cord into this and have a double male cord AKA suicide cord. And to boot, it's likely going to reverse the hot and...
