Has anyone actually seen a visible radio wave? If so please comment. I am just wondering if it has ever been recorded before. or if its something that was left out of NEETS or is maybe top secret.

$\begingroup$ Actually, Radio Astronomy is a means of visualizing radio waves. Although you are not actually seeing the electromagnetic wave directly, you are seeing the color toned graphic image created to demonstrate intensity for given frequency bands. I think this is a very effective method of visualizing radio waves. $\endgroup$– K7PEHMar 9, 2015 at 1:56

There are visible radio waves. We call them 'light'.
We can see a whole range of frequencies of these waves, translated by our brains into something we call 'colours'.

By definition radio waves are not part of the visible electromagnetic spectrum.

$\begingroup$ can they propagate through a vacuum, could you see them if you added a dash of toner. $\endgroup$ Jul 3, 2014 at 20:37

$\begingroup$ Yes. Check out this image from Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum#mediaviewer/…) $\endgroup$ Jul 3, 2014 at 20:41

$\begingroup$ anyways there is an high voltage transformer out side my house and on a moist day i can see stray waves emitting from it. $\endgroup$ Jul 3, 2014 at 20:42

$\begingroup$ thats a very familiar page, i like this one en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_radiation $\endgroup$ Jul 3, 2014 at 20:44

$\begingroup$ she keeps a buzzing on a hot day and if i get close i feel like my head is going to explode. possibly some microwaves? $\endgroup$ Jul 3, 2014 at 20:47
