DIRECTIONS: Read each carefully and encircle the words/letters of your answer for part A, B, C and
E. For part D, write your answer on the blanks provided.

A. DIFFERENT FORMS OF EM WAVES

The electromagnetic spectrum is the arrangement of 1. (electromagnetic waves, ultraviolet

radiation), which are waves that are created with changing electric field and 2. (electric charge,
magnetic field). EM waves travel on 3. (air, vacuum) at a constant speed of 4. (3 x108 m/s, 8 x103
m/s).

The electromagnetic spectrum is arranged in a manner of 5. (decreasing, increasing)

wavelength, 6. (decreasing, increasing) frequency and 7. (decreasing, increasing) energy. 8.
(Gamma ray, Radio wave) has the longest wavelength, lowest frequency and lowest energy among
all EM waves. The 9. (radio wave, visible light) is the only EM wave that can be seen by our naked
eye, whereas 10. (red, violet) has the longest wavelength and 11. (red, violet) has the greatest
frequency. On the other hand, 12. (gamma ray, radio wave) has the shortest wavelength and highest
frequency; which carries the highest 13. (energy, wavelength) among all EM waves. Therefore 14.
(gamma ray, radio wave) has the lowest ionizing radiation, while 15. (gamma ray, radio wave) has
the highest ionizing radiation.

B. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS AND EFFECTS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES

Radio/television signals, GPS and MRI are practical applications of (1) (radio wave/microwave).
Satellite communication, cooking, terrestrial communication, and RADAR make use of (2)
(infrared/microwave). Remote controls, thermal imaging and night vision goggles are practical
applications of (3) (infrared/ultraviolet). You can see things around you because of (4) (gamma
rays/visible light) which is also used in optical fibers, artificial lights and screens of electronic devices.
Vitamin D is produced from (5) (ultraviolet /microwave), which is also used for security markings and
sterilization of water in drinking fountains. In diagnosing bone fractures, we use (6) (gamma rays/X-
rays). Treating tumors and cancer through the process called radiotherapy and sterilizing medical
equipment are practical applications of (7) (gamma rays/ultraviolet). The effect of Electromagnetic
waves on organisms and environment depends on how much (8) (wavelength, energy) it carries.

C. QUALITATIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF IMAGES

“Image Formed by Curved Mirrors”

1. Get a spoon. This can serve as your mirror.
2. Look at the concave surface of the spoon. Place the mirror vey near your face.
3. Bring the spoon on arm length distance away from you.
4. Look now at the convex surface of the spoon. Observe your image as you bring the spoon farther
form you.

Answer the following questions about the activity. (2 POINTS EACH)

1. Describe your image as you look at your face on the concave surface of the spoon.
A. erect, virtual B. inverted, real

2. Describe your image after you bring the spoon on arm length distance away from you using the
concave surface of the spoon.
A. appear as real image B. appear as virtual image

3. Describe your image as you look at your face on the convex surface of the spoon.
A. erect, virtual B. inverted, real
4. Describe your image after you bring the spoon on arm length distance away from you using the
convex surface of the mirror.
A. appear as real B. appear as virtual

D. USES OF MIRRORS AND LENSES

Complete the synopsis below. You may choose the words from the textbox provided. Word/words can
be used more than once, so don’t hesitate to use the word/s that you have used already.

diverging lens multiple images retina lateral inversion eyes

plane mirror convex lenses concave mirror eyelids parallel
converging lenses convex mirror iris diaphragm reflection
refraction meniscus lenses

Mirror and lenses are the tools used in studying the two main behavior of light: (1)
_________________ or the bending of light and (2) __________________ the bouncing off of light.

Mirrors come in different types. The first one is the (3) _________________, a type of mirror
with a flat surface, it produces an image flipped vertically, this is known as (4) ____________. When
mirrors are placed next to each other at a certain angle it can create more than one images, known as
(5) ________________. When mirrors are placed in (6) ______________ position, facing each other,
an infinite number of images is produced. The spherical mirrors come in two: (7) ______________ or
the converging mirror and (8) _________________ the diverging mirror.

These mirrors also function differently. A mirror which provides wider view field making distant
objects appear smaller is (9) __________________. If you want to increase the beam that a certain
source of light is radiating, you must enclose it in a (10) ______________. Dentists also use this kind
of mirror because it can magnify the teeth they are checking on, and this makes easier for them to find
the hidden cavity.

Now let us go to lenses.

Like mirror, lenses also come in either convex lens, known as (11) ____________ and concave
lens, which is also called (12) ________________.

These lenses are also useful to man, like how a mirror is. To see minute or tiny
microorganisms, Scientists use (13) ____________ which has (14) _____________.

To correct a visual problem known as myopia, an eye expert known as Optometrist would
prescribe a myopic person to wear eye glasses with (15) ___________, while for the person who sees
better in a far distance, or the farsighted, a pair of eyeglasses with (16) __________________ is used.

E. SIMPLE ELECTRIC MOTOR AND GENERATOR

1. Electricity is produced in the (motor, generator).

2. Electric bike, where electric current is supplied to the machine as a result of a movement, is an
example of (motor, generator)
3. The generator transforms mechanical into (radiant, electrical) energy, whereas electric motor does
the opposite.
4. Both motor and generator have stator and (commutator, winding poles).
5. The motor converts electrical energy into (mechanical, chemical) energy, whereas generator does
the opposite.
