Answer:

Radio waves

Step-by-step explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are produced by the oscillations of electric and magnetic field. They are transverse waves, which means that the oscillations occur in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave, and they are the only type of waves that can travel through a vacuum.

Electromagnetic waves are classified into 7 different types, depending on their frequencies. From lowest to highest frequencies, we have:

Radio waves

Microwaves

Infrared

Visible light

Ultraviolet

X-rays

Gamma rays

Radio waves are the electromagnetic waves with lowest frequency. They are used, for examples, for satellites, telecommunication, broadcasting.
