Final answer:
The correct pairing among the given options is Ultraviolet - Satellite, but this pairing is inaccurate as microwaves, not ultraviolet waves, are used for satellite communications according to the properties of electromagnetic waves and their applications.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks which type of transmission is paired correctly with its medium:
- Radio waves - Fiber optics
- Infrared - Wireless
- Microwaves - Copper cables
- Ultraviolet - Satellite
Based on the properties of electromagnetic waves:
- Radio waves are commonly used for wireless transmission, not through fiber optics.
- Infrared is indeed used for wireless communications but typically in remote control devices, not over long distances.
- Microwaves, due to their high frequency and ability to carry more information, are ideal for satellite communications.
- Ultraviolet is not typically used for communication purposes as it can be harmful and is absorbed by the atmosphere.
Thus, the correct pairing for transmission and medium as described in the options is:
D. Ultraviolet - Satellite
However, this is not correct since microwaves are the electromagnetic radiation used for satellite communication, not ultraviolet waves.
