(b) The camera detects infrared waves, which allow the camera to record videos in the dark. (i) Which of these electromagnetic waves has a longer wavelength than infrared waves? (1) A gamma rays B microwaves C ultraviolet rays D visible light waves*P68388A0524* Turn over 5 (ii) Which of these is another use for infrared waves? (1) A fluorescent lamps B heating lamps C satellite transmissions D sterilising medical equipment (iii) Which of these is a harmful effect of infrared waves? (1) A blindness B cancer C internal heating of body tissue D skin burns (c) The grid shows the oscilloscope trace for a quiet, low-pitch sound wave. The security camera has an alarm that produces a loud, high-pitch sound. On the grid, draw a trace to represent the sound wave produced by the alarm.
