Question
Why are infrared waves used in remote switches of household electronic systems?
Explanation
**Infrared waves** λ≈700 nm to 1 mm, f≈10¹² to 4×10¹⁴ Hz, produced by hot bodies and molecular vibrations, wavelength range as per document 700 nm-1 mm, used in remote sensing because IR penetrates haze, thermal imaging detects IR emitted by objects, remote controls, effective for sensing temperature. The document mentions that infrared waves are emitted by electronic devices like LEDs and are widely used in remote switches due to their ability to transmit signals effectively over short distances. Using c = fλ, E₀/B₀ = c, I_d = ε₀ dΦ_E/dt, and spectrum classification λ = c/f, evaluation yields They transmit signals effectively, illustrating EM wave transverse
