Uses And Applications Of Electromagnetic Waves (GCSE Physics)

Why are gamma rays used to sterilise single-use medical equipment in industry?

Which application commonly uses infrared detectors to visualise heat patterns (thermal imaging)?

Which electromagnetic wave is typically used by optical fibres for high-speed internet because it can be guided by total internal reflection in glass?

Which property of radio waves makes them suitable for broadcasting to long distances and around hills?

Which electromagnetic wave is used in airport security scanners to image inside luggage non-destructively?

Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum is most suitable for cooking food quickly in a domestic microwave oven?

For satellite television and some mobile data links, which part of the spectrum is typically used because of its ability to carry large amounts of data and be directed by small antennas?

How does the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave relate to its ability to resolve (see) small details?

Why are X-rays used for medical imaging of bones rather than radio waves?

Which electromagnetic wave type would give the best spatial resolution to detect tiny cracks inside a metal component non-destructively?

Which electromagnetic wave is preferred for thermal imaging in firefighting because it shows hot spots through smoke and darkness?
