I bet you have watched astronauts in the space station on television or on your computer. We see them; we hear them speak. How are the voices of astronauts transmitted back to Earth? A) sound waves B) transverse waves C) mechanical waves D) longitudinal waves
The only way to send information back and forth is to use radio waves. Just like a radio station broadcasts a signal which you can listen to using a radio, astronauts and people on Earth can broadcast information back and forth to each other. Radio waves are transverse waves.
