Practical Applications
and Effects of
Electromagnetic Waves
Radio waves have the longest wavelength in the electromagnetic
spectrum. They are produced by making electrons vibrate in an
antenna. They are used to transmit sound and picture
information over long distances.
Radio waves Practical Applications
Microwaves have smaller wavelengths than radio waves. They
are used in satellite communications, radar, television
transmission and cooking.
microwaves Practical Applications
microwaves Practical Applications
Infrared radiation lies beyond the red end of the visible light. It
is emitted by all objects. The amount and wavelength of
radiation depend on temperature. Below 500oC, an object emits
only infrared radiation. Above 500oC, an object glows and emits
both infrared and some visible light.
