Electromagnetic Spectrum

Multiplying & Dividing of Integers How many kinds of “waves” are there in this picture? Multiplying & Dividing of Integers

We know what waves are

We know that the sun sends all kinds of waves to the earth

We know these energy waves are divided into categories based on wave lengths; Shortest to Longest

We know that the 3 categories are: Ultraviolet Light Infrared

Our focus will be on the second category: Light

Light Because these waves are the ONLY wave that can be seen By humans. Bees see colour in ultraviolet light.

Light makes up only 3% of the entire spectrum

Would that fit the definition? A disturbance that travels through a medium?

If the spectrum stretched from the East Coast to the West Coast The light waves that we can actually see would fit in around Toronto and be the size of a nickel.

As discussed in the video, wave lengths vary in light waves Red = slowest Moving to Blue = fastest

When we talk about the speed of osculating waves We are talking about HUNDREDS of TRILLIONS of times per second!

It is important to note that: Whoa Dude It is important to note that: Waves are measured in “wave lengths” More on that later Righteous!

How to we see light?

Our eyes are designed to acknowledge the frequencies of visible light

Remember how many times the light waves osculated in the visual light?

Good Question HUNDREDS of TRILLIONS

Our eye can interpret the speed of these wave lengths

When you look at a banana what color do you see?

The sun releases waves of energy

WHY?

The categories are divided based on the length of waves; Shortest to Longest

Can we bend Light?

How?

Even longer waves = Radio & Microwaves
