MODULE 1: ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM
( WEEK 1-2 )
Name: ___________________________ Date: _____________________
Grade/Section: ________________________ Score: ____________________
Most Essential Learning Competency: Compare the relative wavelengths of different forms
of electromagnetic waves (K – 12 BEC CG: S10FE-IIa-b-47)

A. Write TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE if the statement is wrong and
underline the word/s that made it incorrect. Write your answer on the column provided
for each item.

No. Statement TRUE or FALSE

1 The electromagnetic spectrum is the complete True
range of electromagnetic waves placed in
order of increasing frequency.
2 Different electromagnetic waves have different True
frequencies.
3 The longer the wavelength, the more light False
energy it carries.
4 Different colors of light are waves with True
different wavelengths.
5 Wavelength and frequency are directly related. False
B. Unscramble the letters to form a word that gives the various parts of the electromagnetic
spectrum.
a. Luta lov tire Ultraviolet
b. Levis bil tigh Visible light
c. Waive sodar Radio waves
d. Save rowmic Microwaves
e. Mama grays Gamma rays
f. dear frin Infrared
g. rayxs- X-rays

C. Compare the frequency of electromagnetic waves in the following pairs by writing lower than or
higher than .
a. visible higher than infrared
 b. ultraviolet lower than gamma ray
c. infrared lower than red light

Part II

A. Write the groups of waves in the electromagnetic spectrum in order.

Varied answer:
Radio waves , Microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, Gamma rays
Gamma rays , X-rays, Ultraviolet, Visible light, Infrared, Microwaves, Radio waves
Do the waves you have starts with
a) The highest or lowest frequency __ lowest frequency / highest frequency
b) The longest or shortest wavelength _ longest wavelength / shortest wavelength
B. Arrange the following wavelengths of light according to increasing energy.

1. 210 nm, 520 nm, 1150nm

1150 , 520, 210

Increasing energy

2. 450nm , 550nm, 650nm

650, 550 , 450

Increasing energy
C. Draw what is ask for:
1. Draw a wave inside the given box below from left to right in an increasing wavelength,
and identify the kind of the electromagnetic radiation .

2. Gamma rays X-rays Ultraviolet Visible infrared microwave radio

2. Draw a wave inside the given box below from left to right in an increasing frequency and
identify the kind of Electromagnetic radiation.
 1. Radio microwave infrared visible ultraviolet x-ray Gamma rays

D. For each part, solve the problems correctly .

Using the equation C = fλ derived the formula for:

1.Frequency (f) = c / λ

2.Wavelength (λ) = c / f

Part III

Traffic lights Wavelength Frequency Speed Color of Show your

(nm) (Hz) (m/s) traffic lights solution
(λ) = c / f
GO light 4.99 X 10-7 6.01 x1014 3 x 108 green = 3 x 108m/s
6.01 x 1014 Hz

=0.499 x 10 -6m
=4.99 X 10-7m

f=c/λ
STOP light 750 =4 X 10-4 3 X 108 red = 3 X 108m/s
750 X 109m

=0.004 X 10-1
=4 X 10-4Hz

Warning f=c/λ
Light 620 = 4.84 X 10-4 3 X 108 orange = 3 X 108m/s
620 X 109m

=0.00484 x10-1m
 = 4.84 X 10-4m

. Based from the table above answer the following questions :

1. Which traffic light color has a longest wavelength?__Red
2. Which traffic light color has the shortest wavelength and highest frequency?___Green
3. Arrange the three colors of traffic lights in order of increasing wavelength:__green,
orange, red
4. Arrange the three colors of traffic lights in order of increasing frequency:__red, orange,
green
