"Are the radio waves different than light?"

Yes, as light waves are much higher in frequency than radio waves but,
in most ways they are identical. As an example, cross-polarized
receptors for both light and radio waves suffer greatly in receptivity.


So in most ways yes.
Radio waves from the dipole are polarized. Does it mean that light is
emitted by a dipoles?

We can shield the one end of the dipole. Are such waves polarized?

Why the dipoles exhibit the directional pattern?

Are the ansfers in "Electronics and Radio Engineering"?
