Electromagnetic Waves Radio Waves Microwaves Infra-red Visible Light Ultra-violet X-rays Gamma Rays …are part of the EM Spectrum.

Electromagnetic Waves But how are the waves ordered? Increasing Wavelength Increasing Frequency Increasing Energy

Electromagnetic Waves What do EM waves have in common? They are all transverse waves. They all travel at a speed of light 3 x 108 ms-1 in vacuum. They are all electromagnetic radiation, which can be used to transfer energy. Do not need a medium to propagate. They obey the laws of reflection and refraction. The wave equation v=fl is applicable to all these waves.

Radio: yes, this is the same kind of energy that radio stations emit into the air for your boom box to capture and turn into your favorite Mozart, Madonna, or Coolio tunes. But radio waves are also emitted by other things ... such as stars and gases in space. You may not be able to dance to what these objects emit, but you can use it to learn what they are made of. Microwaves: they will cook your popcorn in just a few minutes! In space, microwaves are used by astronomers to learn about the structure of nearby galaxies, including our own Milky Way! Infrared: we often think of this as being the same thing as 'heat', because it makes our skin feel warm. In space, IR light maps the dust between stars. Visible: yes, this is the part that our eyes see. Visible radiation is emitted by everything from fireflies to light bulbs to stars ... also by fast-moving particles hitting other particles. Ultraviolet: we know that the Sun is a source of ultraviolet (or UV) radiation, because it is the UV rays that cause our skin to burn! Stars and other "hot" objects in space emit UV radiation. X-rays: your doctor uses them to look at your bones and your dentist to look at your teeth. Hot gases in the Universe also emit X-rays . Gamma-rays: radioactive materials (some natural and others made by man in things like nuclear power plants) can emit gamma-rays. Big particle accelerators that scientists use to help them understand what matter is made of can sometimes generate gamma-rays. But the biggest gamma-ray generator of all is the Universe! It makes gamma radiation in all kinds of ways. EM Waves in Action

Activity time Split into 7 groups Each group is assigned to have a specific type of electromagnetic radiation Read about the specific type in the textbook Mahjong paper will be given. Draw a practical use of the type of radiation assigned. Calculate its frequency based on its wavelength in vacuum. (Pg 13)
