1. Practical Applications of Electromagnetic Waves LESSON 12

2. Electromagnetic (EM) waves have many practical uses, including communication (radio, cell phones, WiFi ), medical imaging (X-rays, CT scans, MRI), cooking (microwaves), remote sensing (weather satellites, infrared scanners), navigation (GPS), and lighting.  Different parts of the EM spectrum have distinct applications; for instance, radio waves are used for broadcasting, microwaves for cooking and radar, visible light for vision, ultraviolet for sterilization, X-rays for medical scans, and gamma rays for cancer treatment.
