1.
_waves are used to penetrate solids and are used in doctor's offices and as
airports.
Infrared rays are emitted when an object produces
. You can't see them but you
2.
do feel them.
3.
_waves are utilized by insects to locate nectar.
Our eyes are able to see waves is the part of the electromagnetic spectrum_
4.
5.
These rays are emitted by the sun (and other white hot objects). Over exposure to these rays
can burn the skin and cause skin cancer.
These rays have the shortest wavelength of all. They are emitted by some radioactive
substances. They are often used in radiotherapy to kill cancer cells.

7.
Any warm object emits this wave. Night vision cameras are able to detect this type of
wave.
8.
_waves were first used for communication in the mid 1890's.
9.
_are applied in so many ways from texting to cooking, and to communications to
the rest of the world.
10.
are used for seeing in the dark.
