Question

Distinguish between any two types of propagation of electromagnetic waves based on a) frequency range over which they are applicable and b) communication systems in which they are used.

Answer 1

the above answer is for microwaves and radio waves

Answer 2

Difference between two types of electromagnetic waves

Explanation:

X-ray and gamma ray belongs to electromagnetic wave-

• X-ray have wavelength of 0.03-3 nm corresponding to the frequency that range between 3×$10^{16}$ to 3×$10^{19}$ Hz and energy is between 100 eV to 200 keV

• Gamma ray have frequency <$10^{19$ Hz and wave length >10 picometers and energy <100 keV
• X-ray is used in medical treatment to detect broken bone,or to kill cancer cells or tumor,airport security etc.
• Gamma ray is also used in medical treatment to kill cancel cell, microbes,gamma rays in radio nucleotide form is called as cobalt 60 is used in food preservation. and also use in industrial system
