Question

Data signals on a wireless communication system travel on

Answer 1

The correct answer is electromagnetic waves.

Data signals in a wireless network travel on electromagnetic waves.


These waves move forward by the periodical variation in the intensity of electric and magnetic fields.

Oscillating magnetic and electric waves form electromagnetic waves.

Examples of electromagnetic waves -

Radio waves, infrared rays, ultraviolet rays, x-rays and Gamma rays.

Answer 2

Data signals on a wireless communication system travel on Radio Waves.

The transfer of radio frequencies across a network between two devices is achieved using a transmitter and a receiver.

The transmitter propagates the data in all directions in the form of radio waves.

The receiver catches these signals and then the data transfer is complete.
