What are TV waves?
TVs work pretty much the same way that radios do, in that they receive radio signals sent from a television broadcast station. A television signal is also a radio wave, but it just has a different wavelength. Wavelength is a term that refers to the distance from each high point of the wave. When waves move they have a high point and a low point. They look just like waves in the water. The high point is typically referred to as a “crest,” while the low point is commonly called a “trough.” You can measure a wavelength by marking the distance between the crests. The frequency of a wave is determined by how often or what rate each wave occurs. This is generally called an “event.” How many times an event happens will determine its frequency. Television waves have a frequency, again, much like radio frequencies sent on a carrier wave. TV Antennas Television antennas have metal-based rods and are usually comprised of aluminum pieces all laced together. They are made to receive like signals fr
