Research is being done on the use of radio waves in destroying cancer cells. What type of
frequency would be best used in this technology? Justify your answer. - answers-Sample
Response: The destruction of cancer cells requires a lot of energy, so high-frequency radio
waves can be used in this technology because they have high energy.
Explain why radio and television stations use different frequencies to broadcast programs. -
answers-Sample Response: Radio and television stations use different frequencies to broadcast
programs to avoid interference. Interference may degrade the quality of signals.
