  1. 2. experimentally confirmed Maxwell's theory in 1888. He generated and detected radio waves, the first type of electromagnetic wave to be observed.
  2. 4. Used for medical imaging, industrial inspection, and research.
  3. 7. laid the theoretical groundwork for electromagnetic waves, proposing that they were a result of the interaction between electric and magnetic fields. His equations predicted the existence of these waves, which could travel through space at the speed of light.
  4. 8. Used for cooking, communication (e.g., cell phones), and radar.
  5. 9. The distance between two consecutive crest on a wave.
  6. 10. Used for thermal imaging, remote sensing, and heating.
  7. 11. The type of radiation we can see, used for vision and illumination.
  8. 12. The number of waves that pass a given point in a second.

  1. 1. Discovered X-rays in 1895.
  2. 3. Used for communication, broadcasting, and radar.
  3. 5. Used for medical treatments (e.g., cancer therapy), sterilization, and research, but can be highly dangerous.
  4. 6. Used for sterilization, medical treatments, and tanning, but can also be harmful if excessive.
