WAVES
– in everyday life –

first of all…
Electromagnetic Waves (EM
Waves) are different
mechanical waves in some
important ways. They are
disturbance that transmit
energy through field.
Since EM waves can transmit energy, it
can be used to communicate long
distances or even promote healing
within the body by using certain
applications.
This belongs to the regions in the
electromagnetic spectrum such as…
RADIO
MICROWAVE
INFRARED
VISIBLE LIGHT
ULTRAVIOLET
X-RAY
GAMMA RAY
• RADIO
— A P P L I C A T I O N S —
a sound
communication using
radio waves, usually
through transmission
of sounds.
• OVENS
a kitchen appliances
that utilizes heat to
cook food.
• WI-FI
a technology that
makes use of
microwaves for the
transmission and
reception of signals
• INFRARED SCANNERS
used to show
temperature of the
body and can be also
used for medical
diagnosis.

• AUTOFOCUS CAMERAS
a sound
communication using
radio waves, usually
through transmission
of sounds.
• SATELLITES
uses microwave for
space exploration that
can propagate with
any weather
condition.
• GPS
a microwave-based
communicator that
tracks receivers
present on earth.
• X-RAY MACHINES
a technology that can
capture films which
helps diagnosing bone
fractures and tumors.
• CELLPHONES
a radiolocation system
that locate the exact
position of an obstacle.
• RADAR
a technology that uses
visible light.
• BLUETOOTH
a wireless
communication
protocol that allows
devices to exchange
information.
• UV LAMPS IN BANKS
used to check
signature on a
passbook using
fluorescent ink.
— A P P L I C A T I O N S —
• FLASHLIGHT
a technology that
emitts light and can
cover a great distance.
– importance of these –
APPLICATIONS
These tools are have been very
helpful to our everyday lives over a
past few decades. As human
intelligence continues to develop,
more utilities can be created,
particularly to reduce time and
effort. The importance of these
things are beyond our hands as we
use it.
