1. An electromagnetic wave detection apparatus comprising:
an irradiator configured to emit electromagnetic waves;
a first detector comprising a plurality of detection elements configured to detect, each of irradiation position, reflected waves of the electromagnetic waves irradiated onto an object;
a memory configured to store related information including a plurality of kinds of the related information, each of the kinds of the related information associating any two elements of an element defining an emission direction of the electromagnetic waves and one or more elements defining plural points on a path of the electromagnetic waves emitted from the irradiator to the first detector via the object, each of the kinds of the related information including a plurality of combinations of the two elements, the plurality of combinations of the two elements in a kind of the related information being different from the plurality of combinations of the two elements in another of the kinds of the related information; and
a controller configured to update the related information based on the emission direction of the electromagnetic waves and, a position of a detection element, among the plurality of detection elements, that detects the reflected waves of the electromagnetic waves, one of the kinds of the related information being updated using one or more other ones of the kinds of the related information having an element in common with the one of the kinds of the related information.
