We live in an ocean of electromagnetic waves. When we need to prevent electromagnetic wave interference, we usually use a metal shell to isolate the electromagnetic waves from the area that needs to be shielded, avoiding the entry of electromagnetic waves. This practice is called electromagnetic shielding. The China Science and Technology Museum has a metal small house, and a piece of electromagnetic shielding glass is embedded in the large window on the side. Please design an experiment with selected materials to test whether this electromagnetic shielding glass can shield electromagnetic waves. Write out the experimental steps and judgment methods.

Read the short text and answer the questions. Geostationary Satellite. The launch process of artificial geostationary satellites can be simplified into two stages: ignition acceleration and attitude adjustment. From the ground, it appears to be stationary above the equator, synchronized with the Earth's rotation, hence the name geostationary satellite. Three communication satellites are deployed at an altitude of about 36,000 km above the equator to achieve global communication except for the poles. Geostationary satellites are commonly used in communication, meteorology, broadcasting, missile warning, data relay, etc., to achieve continuous work in the same area. (1) The synchronous satellite is _____ (fill in 'moving' or 'stationary') relative to the ground. (2) In the ignition acceleration stage, energy is converted from chemical energy → internal energy → _____ energy. (3) It takes at least _____ s for the electromagnetic wave signal sent from the ground to return through the synchronous satellite. (4) The uses of synchronous satellites include _____ (just name two).
