    This document discusses different applications of electromagnetic waves and their corresponding wavelengths. It provides examples such as: 1. Infrared light waves are used for camera autofocusing. 2. Radio waves are used for radio broadcasting. 3. X-ray waves are used for diagnosis of bone fractures. It also explains some properties of electromagnetic waves such as their ability to travel through different mediums like solids, liquids, gases and vacuums. Microwaves are discussed as being useful for radar due to their short wavelengths.

    Here are the applications and the

    SCIENCE corresponding
    electromagnetic waves used:
    In the visible spectrum,
    which color has the longest 1. Camera autofocusing – infrared
    light waves
    wavelength?
    c. Red 2. Radio broadcasting – radio
    waves
    -because it has the slowest
    frequency.And slower 3. Diagnosis of bone fractures – x-
    frequency has longer ray waves
    wavelength.
    4. Sterilization of water in drinking
    fountains – ultraviolet
    Infrared and ultraviolet waves
    radiation differs on
    wavelength. 5. Sterilization of medical
    instruments – gamma waves
    The relation between wave speed, 2 SOURCES OF EM
    wave frequency and wavelength is WAVES
    shown in the equation below:
    Light is an electromagnetic
    speed = wavelength x wave and it's source is the
    frequency sun, another source of
    electromagnetic waves are
    So to compute for the satellites and radio
    wavelength:
    wavelength =
    antennae.

    Electromagnetic waves can
    Note that the speed is equal to the travel in any types of
    speed of light which is :
    medium(solid/liquid/gas/vac
    cum) Mechanical waves can
    Thus, only travel through solid,
    Convert 675kHz to Hz liquid and gas but not
    through vaccum

    Microwaves is an electromagnetic
    wave used in radar because of the
    short wavelengths that can be
    reflected by small objects like
    radar. In addition to that,
    microwaves also penetrate the
    atmosphere.

    Radar stand for Radio Detection


    and Ranging. Radar consists of
    transmitter, receiver and an
    antenna.
