1 Electromagnetic Radiation and X-Rays "It's of no use whatsoever[...] this is just an experiment that proves Maestro Maxwell was right - we just have these mysterious electromagnetic waves that we cannot see with the naked eye. But they are there." Heinrich Hertz

3 The Electromagnetic Waves Light waves are self propagating waves that consist of both an electronic and magnetic component. Insert electromagnetic wave image here

4 Formulas for Waves Propagation Speed c = λf c is speed of propagation, (m/s) λ is wavelength, (m) f is frequency (/s, Hz, s -1 ) Period T = 1/f f = 1/T Where: T is the period (s) f is the frequency (Hz) Energy E = hf Where: E is the energy of the photon h is Planck’s constant f is the frequency of the radiation For light c is constant and equal to 2.998 x 10 8 m/s

5 The Electromagnetic Spectrum Insert electromagnetic spectrum picture here
6
6 EM Radiation Activity You will each be assigned one of the following types of electromagnetic radiation. Look it up. Report the following information for it: Wavelength How it is generated What it are some common uses Gamma rays, X-rays, Ultraviolet radiation, Light, Infra-red radiation, Microwaves, Radio waves (FM, AM, ELF), Gravity waves.
7
7 Calculations Calculate the frequency of a red laser pointer light with wavelength 655 nm.
8
8 Calculations Calculate the wavelength and type of electromagnetic radiation you would expect to produce from a 3 GHz computer.
9
9 Calculations A common unit in spectroscopy is the “wave number” which is usually defined as the number of waves per cm. How many wave cycles per cm (wave numbers) would you expect to find in radiation produced from a microwave oven operating at a frequency of 2450 MHz?
10
10 Calculations Copper emits a kα X-ray of 8.04 keV. What would the wavelength be?
11
11 Light and Optics Electromagnetic radiation What we see as light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Photon: a unit of electromagnetic energy (light). Photons have no electric charge, they have zero “rest mass” but they do have momentum and energy. http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/emwav.html#c1 http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/emwav.html#c1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_radiation
