Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum longer than infrared light. Radio waves have frequencies as high as 300 GHz to as low as 3 kHz, though some definitions describe waves above 1 or 3 GHz as microwaves, or include waves of any lower frequency. At 300 GHz, the corresponding wavelength is 1 mm (0.039 in), and at 3 kHz is 100 km (62 mi).
For other uses, see RF (disambiguation) . Radio frequency (RF): any of the electromagnetic wave frequencies that lie in the range extending from around 7003300000000000000â 3 kHz to 7011300000000000000â 300 GHz, which include those frequencies used for communications or radar signals. The energy in an RF current can radiate off a conductor into space as electromagnetic waves (radio waves); this is the basis of radio technology. 2  RF current does not penetrate deeply into electrical conductors but tends to flow along their surfaces; this is known as the skin effect.
