Which electromagnetic waves are used in remote switches of household electronic systems?
**Hertz experiment** used induction coil connected to two rods with gap, spark produced oscillating charge, emitted EM wave, received by loop with gap sparking when E induced, measured wavelength by standing wave, demonstrated EM wave properties, validating Maxwell. Infrared waves are widely used in remote switches for devices like TVs and hi-fi systems, as mentioned in the document. Using c = fλ, E₀/B₀ = c, I_d = ε₀ dΦ_E/dt, and spectrum classification λ = c/f, evaluation yields Infrared waves, illustrating EM wave transverse nature and Maxwell's displacement current concept.
