Answer 1

Electromagnetic Waves and Their Applications

Applications:
- FM Radio Broadcast: Utilizes meter-range radio waves for extensive transmission.
- Bone Fracture Detection: Employs X-rays, which penetrate soft tissues but are absorbed by bone, facilitating image creation.
- Muscular Strain Treatment: Uses infrared rays for deep tissue heating and pain alleviation.
