Technically all could be used for communication. Although not all may be suited for the use. Here are a few examples:

Radio waves - short wave/long wave radio

Microwaves - Used for communication of space objects (spacecraft, satellites, radar etc)

Infra-red - Used as a wireless communication between devices like mobile phones

Ultra Violet - Butterflies use two ultraviolet signals, UV reflectance or absorbance as a communication system

X-Rays - High powered telescopes

Dont forget fibre optics for the visible part of the spectrum.

How are longitudinal waves used in communication?

All sound waves are longitudinal (compression/rarefaction) waves.


Why aren't ultraviolet waves not used to transmit signals to and from communication satellites?

Because they are of the highest frequencies in the known electromagnetic spectrum. This means their wavelength are very short, which means they will not travel very far, as opposed to low-frequency RF waves. In comparison, the same idea applies to vehicle taillights and why they're colored red (the color red has the longest wavelength in visible light and it will be visible even from a long distance).


How are em waves used in dentistry?

EM waves stands for Electromagnetic Waves. The EM waves used in dentistry are usually X-Rays. These electromagnetic waves go through your skin and other body tissue (don't worry it's not very harmful or bad for you). And reflect off your bones. Think of it as a camera, the X-Ray machine sends out a flash, then takes the picture. This 'picture' shows where your bones are and whats happening to them, like, are they coming out as an adult tooth? or will you need braces in a few years. That sort of thing.

Where is electromagnetic energy found?

I prefer not to use the word "stored," because EM radiation does not "store" energy -- it transfers it. The energy shifts from the electric field of the EM wave to the magnetic field of the EM wave, and then back -- repeat ad infinitem.
