  • Visible Electromagnetic Waves: 3 Everyday Devices
    Here are three devices that use electromagnetic waves people see:

    1. Televisions: Televisions use electromagnetic waves in the radio frequency range to transmit and receive images and sound. The waves carry information about the picture and audio that are then decoded by your TV and displayed on the screen.

    2. X-ray Machines: These machines generate X-rays, a type of electromagnetic radiation with a shorter wavelength than visible light. X-rays can pass through soft tissues but are absorbed by denser materials like bone. This allows doctors to view the internal structures of the body.

    3. Microwaves: Microwaves use microwaves (a type of electromagnetic radiation) to heat food. The water molecules in food absorb the energy from these waves, causing them to vibrate and generate heat.
