A television set is opaque; you cannot see through it. When it is on, it can create an illusion that you are seeing through it, of course. You don't see what it behind it, you see, as if through a window, into another world. But it's an illusion.

Who travels faster in a vacuums x-rays or microwave?
As long as the x-ray and the microwave are in the same medium, they're both traveling at the same speed. So are radio waves, TV waves, heat waves, and every color of visible light.
What type of waves does toasters have?
Electric Toasters have microwave waves because microwave waves can penetrate food whereas infra - red waves cannot.
How can mirco waves be blocked?
Yes, microwave waves can be blocked. A Farady cage is one way to block microwave waves, or you can use aluminum foil to block the waves. Most do not believe that microwave waves are that harmful and therefore do not need to be blocked.
What are the types of waves?
Sound waves, ocean waves, micro waves, light waves and etc.By the way microwave is not the microwave you warm stuff up in.
If a material is opaque to light is it opaque to other electromagnetic waves as well?
Need not be opaque to other wavelength ranges. A thin metal sheet is opaque to visible light, but not to x-rays.
What waves can transmit TV pictures or cooked food?
Microwave can be use to transmit pictures.

Which rays are emitted by tv sets and microwave ovens?
Some light waves in both cases. Some radio frequency waves by both of them. And both will emit audio waves, which also radiate. (I have never yet met a silent microwave cooker.)
Two uses for infrared waves?
your tv control remote and passing information from one cellphone to other if you have no bluetooth
What type of waves of electomagnetic waves?
When you listen to the radio, watch TV, or cook dinner in a microwave oven, you are using electromagnetic waves. Radio waves, television waves, and microwaves are all types of electromagnetic waves. They differ from each other in wavelength. Wavelength is the distance between one wave crest to the next. For more info, click the link below.
What humans use radio waves?
Radio waves are used to transmit signals from a radio station, and you can receive the signals with a radio, and hear them as sound such as speech or music. The long wavelength of radio waves makes them a suitable medium for transmitting over a large range. it is also use in agriculture...... it is used to diagnose different diseases
Do some TVs use radio waves?
TVs receiving broadcast programming do, they just use it to produce both picture and sound; instead of just sound as an ordinary radio does. TVs receiving cable programming don't. TVs receiving satellite programming do, but the radio waves are in the microwave band transmitted from the satellite and received by your dish, where they are down converted via a microwave superheterodyne stage in the dish so that they are in the frequency range the TV can handle.
What is the difference between infrared waves and microwaves?
Microwaves are electromagnetic waves that occur on the EMR (Electromagnetic Radiation) scale above radio/tv waves and below infrared and visible light waves. They are used in cooking devices (microwave oven) and as carrier waves for cell phone and other communication devices. In other words, a "microwave" is a type of electromagnetic radiation (like visible light waves, tv waves and so on), and a "microwave oven" is a cooking device that uses microwaves to heat foods by stimulation of the water molecule. See the link below and read the answer posted to the related question for more.
Both sound waves and light waves travel through an opaque object?
Light waves cannot travel through an opaque object.Sound waves intensity is reduced drastically when it crosses an opaque object.Sound waves cannot propagate without a medium whereas light can travel without a medium of propagation.
How are microwaves transmitted?
Microwaves are electromagnetic radiation. They are electromagnetic waves, and they are transmitted like light or radio waves, both of which are forms of electromagnetic radiation. The radiation leaves the microwave source in waves, and this radiation will travel effortlessly through a vacuum, and with a bit of loss through air.

What type of waves does toasters have?
Electric Toasters have microwave waves because microwave waves can penetrate food whereas infra - red waves cannot.
