Electromagnetic waves
Storyboard Text
- Microwaves are most commonly used in satellite communications,radarsignals, phones, and navigational applications. Other applications where microwaves used are medical treatments, drying materials, and in households for the preparation of food.
- Thermal-imaging camera are used to detect heat loss in insulated systemInfrared radition is used in industrial,scientific,military, commerical,and medical applications
- Uses of Infrared Light
- Potential applications of VLC include Li-Fi, vehicle to vehicle communication, robots in hospitals, underwater communication and information displayed on sign boards. The Li-Fi uses visible light for communication to provide high speed internet up to 10Gbits/s.
- Uses of radiowaves
- UV radiation is widely used in industrial processes and in medical and dental practices for a variety of purposes, such as killing bacteria, creating fluorescent effects, curing inks and resins, phototherapy, and sun tanning. Different UV wavelengths and intensities are used for other purposes.
- X-rays play an important role in the fight against cancer, with high energy radiation used to kill cancer cells and shrink tumours. Patients undergo treatment outside the body (known as external-beam radiation therapy) or from radioactive material that's inserted into the body in close proximity to cancer cells.
- Gamma rays are ionizing electromagnetic radiation, obtained by the decay of an atomic nucleus. Gamma rays are more penetrating, in matter, and can damage living cells to a great extent. Gamma rays are used in medicine (radiotherapy), industry (sterilization and disinfection) and the nuclear industry.
