Uses of Waves
Front
Radio Waves: Communication

Infra-Red Radiation: Heating and monitor temperature
Visible Light: Travel though optical fibres + Photography
Ultraviolet Light: Fluorescent Lamps
X-Rays: See inside things
Gamma Rays: Sterilising medical equipment

A small number deviated as they were repelled
Very few alpha particles bounced back because of the dense nucleus
