3
GOAL To explain the relationship between wavelength and frequency To recognize the electromagnetic spectrum To explain the relationship between wavelength and frequency To recognize the electromagnetic spectrum
4
Electromagnetic Spectrum Electromagn etic spectrum WAVES OF ELECTRIC particles traveling at the speed of light
5
Long wavelength Low Energy Low Frequency
9
Using the Electromagnetic Spectrum What is visible light found between? Infrared and uv light Which color make up the spectrum of visible light? ROYGBIV- red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet What is visible light found between? Infrared and uv light Which color make up the spectrum of visible light? ROYGBIV- red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet
10
Using the Electromagnetic Spectrum Which has a longer wavelength? UV or visible visible Which has a longer wavelength? Infrared or radio Radio Which has a higher frequency? Infrared or microwave infrared Which has a longer wavelength? UV or visible visible Which has a longer wavelength? Infrared or radio Radio Which has a higher frequency? Infrared or microwave infrared
11
Using the Electromagnetic Spectrum Which has a higher frequency? X-rays or cosmic waves visible Which has more energy? X-rays or gamma rays Gamma rays Which has more energy? radio or microwave microwave Which has a higher frequency? X-rays or cosmic waves visible Which has more energy? X-rays or gamma rays Gamma rays Which has more energy? radio or microwave microwave
12
Electromagnetic Spectrum Longitudinal waves Vibrate in same direction as lengtH
13
Electromagnetic Spectrum Transverse waves Vibrate up and down at right angles to their length
15
Electromagnetic Spectrum Crest Trough Amplitude Wavelength Frequency Crest Trough Amplitude Wavelength Frequency High point of a wave Low point of a wave Height from center of wave to high or Low point Distance between 2 crests or 2 troughs How many wave cycles pass by in a period of time
16
Electromagnetic Spectrum Crest High point of a wave
17
Electromagnetic Spectrum trough low point of a wave
18
Electromagnetic Spectrum amplitude distance from the center of a wave to either a high point or a low point A A
19
Electromagnetic Spectrum wavelength the distance between the crests or troughs of two waves that are next to each other
20
Electromagnetic Spectrum Frequency how many wave cycles pass by in a period of time Freq= # cycles /time= ? SEC 123456
22
Labeling the parts of a wave Look at the wave on your handout- label the parts as crests, troughs, amplitude or wavelength
24
Wavelength Problems Calculating wavelength, frequency and amplitude Wavelength = the length between 2 peaks or valleys Frequency = # cycles/ time (sec) Amplitude= distance from middle to peak or valley Look at the Side board for an example Calculating wavelength, frequency and amplitude Wavelength = the length between 2 peaks or valleys Frequency = # cycles/ time (sec) Amplitude= distance from middle to peak or valley Look at the Side board for an example

Wavelength Problems Assessment: Handout find the wavelength, amplitude and frequency of each wave on your handout Assessment: Handout find the wavelength, amplitude and frequency of each wave on your handout
28
Properties of Sound Type of wave Longitudinal waves
29
Properties of Sound What is it caused by? Vibrating air molecules
30
Properties of Sound How is sound perceived? Ear drum picks up vibrations in air
31
Properties of Sound Through what types of mediums will it travel? It travel through a solid, liquid, or gas (Fastest through solids)
32
Why can ’ t you hear someone shouting if you are on the moon?
33
Properties of Sound In what direction does it travel? In all directions (can bend around corners)
34
Properties of Sound When does it bounce off a surface Echoes created by hard surfaces
35
Properties of Sound When is it taken in by a surface Soft surfaces absorb sound
36
Soundproofing Rooms Rooms are soundproofed by adding soft carpets, heavy curtains and soft tiles “ Soft ” items take in or absorb sound
37
Properties of Sound What is the speed at which it travels? 9. Travels at 335 m/sec

39
Properties of Light Type of wave Transverse
40
Properties of Light What is it caused by? Waves of excited electrons
41
Properties of Light How is it perceived or detected in humans? By the eye
42
Properties of Light Through what types of mediums will it travel Doesn ’ t even need a medium (will travel through space)
43
Properties of Light In what direction does it travel? Straight lines
44
Properties of Light When does it bounce off a surface? Reflection
45
Properties of Light When is it taken in by a surface Abosorption
46
Properties of Light What is the speed at which it travels? 300,000 km/sec
47
What Happens when Light Strikes Matter? Absorption Light taken in by matter
48
Properties of Light Reflectio n When light bounces off things: Mirror Color
49
Properties of Light Transmittanc e Light passes right through the matter it strikes
50
Properties of Light Transparent Light passes straight through –window, glass, air
51
Properties of Light Translucent Light passes through and is scattered (wax paper, frosted glass)
52
Properties of Light Opaque Light cannot pass through them (metal, wood)
53
Properties of Light Refraction Bending of light as it passes through different mediums - Light goes slower through high density materials (causing bending)
54
Properties of Light Refraction Examples less dense --> more dense = bends towards normal line
55
Properties of Light Refraction Examples more dense--> less dense= bends away from normal line
56
Properties of Light Refraction Examples Light moving head on between two substances w/ diff. Densities will not refract/bend
58
Refraction
