Which electromagnetic waves are used in ovens and cell phone communications?
A
Infrared rays
B
ultraviolet rays
C
microwaves
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Microwaves are electromagnetic waves with relatively long wavelengths and low frequencies. They are used for microwave ovens, cell phones, and radar.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mobile phones work by transmitting and receiving radio frequency microwave radiation. The radio frequency (RF) emitted by mobile phones is stronger than FM radio signal which are known to cause cancer.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cell phones send signals to (and receive them from) nearby cell towers (base stations) using RF waves. This is a form of energy in the electromagnetic spectrum that falls between FM radio waves and microwaves. Like FM radio waves, microwaves, visible light, and heat, RF waves are a form of non-ionizing radiation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Radio waves are used for communication such as television and radio. Radio waves are transmitted easily through air.
