Electromagnetic radiation is more common than you might expect.Radio and TV stations emit radio waves as they broadcast theirprograms; microwaves cook your food in a microwave oven;conventional ovens and stoves emit infrared and slightly visibleradiation; dentists use X rays to check your teeth; and cell phonesoperate using microwaves as well, but at a lower frequency thanmicrowave ovens. Even though they have different names and differentapplications, these types of radiation are really all the same thing:electromagnetic (EM) waves- energy that travels in the form ofoscillating electric and magnetic fields.Part BWhich of the following statements correctly describe the various applications listed above?Check all that apply.► View Available Hint(s)None of these technologies use radio waves.None of these technologies use lower-frequency microwaves.None of these technologies use higher-frequency microwaves.None of these technologies use infrared waves.The radiation emitted by some wireless local area networks has the shortest wavelength of all the technologies listed above.All these technologies emit waves with a wavelength in the range 0.01 to 10.0 m.All these technologies emit waves with a wavelength in the range 0.01 to 10.0 km.Submit Previous AnswersX Incorrect; Try Again; 3 attempts remainingReview | Constants | Periodic TableDespite their extensive applications in communication systems, radio waves and microwaves are not the only form of EM waves present in our atmosphere. Another form ofEM radiation plays an even more important role in our life (and the life of our planet): sunlight.The sun emits over a wide range of frequencies; however, the fraction of its radiation that reaches the earth's surface is mostly in the visible spectrum. (Note that about 35% ofthe radiation coming from the sun is absorbed directly by the atmosphere before even reaching the earth's surface.) The earth, then, absorbs this radiation and reemits it asinfrared waves.
