Uses of Electromagnetic Waves Radio Waves * TV and FM radio (short wavelength) * Direct line of sight with transmitter (do not diffract) * Medium wavelength – travel further because they reflect from layers in the atmosphere * Used for transmitting signals. Microwaves * Microwaves are used in satellite television broad casting. * It is used to transmit mobile phone signals between Mast‚ which may be up to 20km apart. * Microwaves are absorbed by water molecules

OBSERVING WAVE PULSES - EXPERIMENT 15 PART 1 - Transverse Wave Pulses Q1 - As the pulse travels down through the spring‚ its‚ size and amplitude is reduced - the sizes of the waves are much smaller as the forces become weaker (losing energy) as the distance from the point of initiation is increased. Q2 - Pulses do not ’catch up’ with one another in transverse waves. They either meet at a certain point momentarily or pass through each other and continue on their way as if nothing has happened.

have contributed to theories involving light. Of these‚ the wave-particle duality is arguably the most strange and noteworthy concept in the field. Throughout history‚ some physicists have argued that light behaves as a wave‚ such as Christiaan Huygens and others‚ such as Isaac Newton have proposed that light consists of particles (Wave-Particle Duality‚ March 2010). Today‚ as stated in the wave-particle duality‚ light is said to exhibit wave-like and particle-like properties. And still today‚ physicists

Radio waves and Microwaves Radio communications Radio waves are used to broadcast radio or television signals from transmitters‚ which are then converted into electrical signals with an aerial (which is made out of metal to absorb the radio waves) so you can hear and see them. When done so the aerial converts this wave into an electrical signal (because of the electromagnetic waves energy exciting particles in the aerial and causing them to oscillate/vibrate and thus create an electrical current)
