Reflection of Waves When we wear sun block at the beach it helps to reflect the sun’s harmful rays. SPF (sun protection factor)

Absorption of EM Waves Absorbing too much of the sun’s radiant waves. = sunburn! Greenhouse Warming/ Greenhouse Effect= The Earth’s atmosphere absorbing heat from the sun’s radiant energy. Microwave cooking- When our food absorbs microwaves and is heated up.

Absorption/Reflection of Electromagnetic Waves can also be used for… X-rays can be used to detect broken bones beneath the skin. Coating on eyeglasses and sunglasses protect the eyes by permitting visible waves to pass but absorb UV waves.
