EM waves are mostly used in propagating signals ...and em waves are transverse in nature can propagate through vacuuam compared to longitudanal waves .....so they are mostly preferred ....the power loss with the em waves is less than any other waves s.
A tv remote uses Infrared part of the Em spectrum of free space wavelength
as from wave eqn we have where v = speed of wave , = frequency of the wave , = wavelegth
so
if the speed is halfed so the wavelength be also halfed travelling from vacuum to water
as the speed change depends upon the medium itselfso using Xray we would get the same result if the medium pair is not altered .
during refraction frequency of the sysem does not change at all .
