Answer

Theremin operates using radio waves. It is a unique musical instrument that produces sound by the movement of the player's hands in the proximity of two metal antennas. The player's hand near the vertical antenna controls the pitch, while the hand near the horizontal antenna controls the volume. Theremin is known for its eerie and otherworldly sound, and has been used in numerous film scores and musical compositions.
