Radio waves for two way communication?

Click For Summary
Two-way communication using radio waves is possible between two individuals equipped with transmitters and receivers, similar to cell phones. The effectiveness of communication depends on the power of the transmitters, which can influence range. For close proximity, such as communicating from one room to another, it is feasible to establish a connection. The discussion also touches on a science project that aims to replace cell phone microwaves with radio waves, raising questions about the practical implementation of this concept. Overall, radio waves can facilitate communication over short distances, provided the necessary equipment is in place.

Suppose I have a transmitter and receiver and my friend in the next room also has it. Can we both talk with each other with radio waves as we do in cell phone. I know we can't talk if he is several miles apart. But if he is just in the next room, can we communicate?

Why not?
 
Hi, Govind_Balaji, I will reply by asking a couple of questions :smile::

Yes...

Question 1: How do you think cell phones communicate?
Question 2: Have you heard about walkie-talkies?

How do you know this? :smile: . If you can communicate or not depends (partly) on the power of the transmitters.

What do you think? :smile:
 
I am actually doing a science project for an exhibition. It's tomorrow and I think of substituting cell phone microwaves with radio waves along with some wires and conductors. It's a bit difficult to explain here. I just had a doubt whether it's a flaw. So I just made sure it's complete.
 
How were you intending to produce and receive your "Radio Waves"? What will the Science Project be saying and what is the planned audience?
