Lord caused us to put our trust in You and have no confidence in our flesh. Amen!
Hello learner! This First unit of the second quarter is all about the Electromagnetic
Spectrum. In this unit, you are going to consider the following question: What determines
the effects of electromagnetic radiation on living things and the environment? Proceed to
Let’s the first activity to ignite your learning. Have a great fun while doing the activities. God Bless!
ACTIVITY 1: Be Aware!
Instruction: Study the article below and answer the questions that follow.
Harmful Effects of Electromagnetic Radiation
Source: https://www.defendershield.com/harmful-effects-of-electromagnetic-radiation
For most people, it is impossible to go even a day without coming into contact with electronic devices such as
laptops, tablets and cell phones. People rely on these technological tools for work, communicating with friends
and family, school, and personal enjoyment.
Most people don’t seem to realize, however, is that all of these electronic devices are known to emit waves of
Electromagnetic Radiation. Even people who are aware of this fact often ignore it, but once you know all of the
adverse effects this type of radiation can have on your health, you start to pay more attention. Some people may
try to convince you that the negative effects of Electromagnetic Radiation are simply a hoax thought up by
extremely paranoid people. Unfortunately, research is proving that this is not the case at all. Electromagnetic
Radiation (EMR) studies repeatedly shown gene mutations and DNA fragmentation, which can cause cell
mutation and cancer.
Children are particularly at risk from

Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) exposure,
because a child’s body absorbs more EMR than
an adult’s body. In fact, we find that children
absorb up to 60 percent more energy per pound
of body weight than adults do. Today’s standard
for the maximum signal strength of cell phones is
known to penetrate an adult head up to one inch.
This same cell phone signal can pass completely
though a child’s head!
Processing Questions:
1. What are the examples of electronic devices?
______________________________________________________________________________________
2. What do these electronic devices emit?

Electricity can be static, like the energy that can make your hair stand on end. Magnetism
can also be static, as it is in the refrigerator magnet. A changing magnetic field will induce
a changing electric field and vice-versa – the two are linked. These changing fields form
electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves differ from mechanical waves in that they
do not require a medium to propagate. This means that electromagnetic waves can travel
not only through air and solid materials, but also through the vacuum space.
Electromagnetic wave is a wave that is created as a result of vibrations between an
electric and magnetic field.

How Electromagnetic Waves are Produced?

Accelerating electrons produce

electromagnetic waves. These waves are
a combination of electric and magnetic
fields. As accelerated electrons produce
an electric field of a wave, the varying
electric field produces the wave’s
magnetic field. Both the electric field and
magnetic field oscillate perpendicular to
each other and to the direction of the
propagating wave.

Describing Electromagnetic Energy

Sources: https://science.nasa.gov/ems
The terms light, electromagnetic waves, and radiation all refer to the same physical phenomenon:
electromagnetic energy. This energy can be described by frequency, wavelength, or energy. All three are related
mathematically such that if you know one, you can calculate the other two. Radio and microwaves are usually
described in terms of frequency (Hertz), infrared and visible light in terms of wavelength (meters), and x-rays
and gamma rays in terms of energy (electron volts).
Frequency
The number of crests that pass a given point within one second
is described as the frequency of the wave. One wave – or cycle –
per second is called a Hertz (Hz), after Heinrich Hertz who
established the existence of radio waves. A wave with two cycles
that pass a point in one second has a frequency of 2 Hz.
Wavelength
Electromagnetic waves have crests and troughs similar to those
ocean waves. The distance between crests is the wavelength.
The shortest wavelengths are just fractions of the size of an
atom, while the longest wavelengths scientists currently study
can be larger than the diameter of our planet!
Energy
An electromagnetic wave can also be described in terms of its energy – in units of measure called electron volts
(eV). An electron volt is the amount of kinetic energy needed to move an electron through one volt potential.

entitled Describing Electromagnetic Energy
This is what I learned from the reading passage. I learned that the terms ____________________, electromagnetic
waves, and ________________ all refer to the same physical phenomenon: electromagnetic energy.
This energy can be described by ___________________, ____________________, or _____________________.
The number of _________________ that pass a given point within one second is described as the frequency of the
wave. One wave – or cycle – per second is called ___________.
The distance _____________ crests is the wavelength. I also learned that an _____________________ is the amount of
kinetic energy needed to move an electron through one volt potential.

What is Electromagnetic Spectrum?

Sources: https://commons.deped.gov.ph/documents/aebdd3b1-1331-4b0c-bc7f-95527eb0717a
There are seven different types of Electromagnetic (EM) waves. They are arranged in a gradual progression
from the waves of lowest frequency to the waves of highest frequency. This arrangement of EM waves is called
electromagnetic spectrum. In order of increasing frequency, the EM spectrum includes radio waves,
microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-ray, and gamma ray.
