PRAYER

ATTENDANCE
DESCRIBE DIFFERENT FORMS OF
ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES
 KEY CONCEPTS

SPECTRUM
WAVELENGTH
FREQUENCY
 The electromagnetic spectrum is the range
of frequencies or the spectrum of electromagnetic
radiation and their respective wavelengths
and photon (force carrier) energies.
 It is a continuum of
electromagnetic waves arranged
according to frequency and
wavelength.
 QUESTIONS

1. WHAT DO YOU NOTICED

BETWEEN WAVELENGTH AND
FREQUENCY?
2. BETWEEN WAVELENGTH AND
TEMPERATURE?
RADIO WAVES AND TV WAVES
RADIO AND TV WAVES HAVE THE
LONGEST WAVELENGTHS AND THE
LOWEST FREQUENCIES.
 MICROWAVES
THEY ARE USED IN SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS
BECAUSE THEY CAN PENETRATE THE IONOSPHERE.
 INFRARED WAVES
• WAVES THAT LIE IN THE REGION BEYOND THE RED END OF
VISIBLE SPECTRUM.
 QUESTION
WHAT INSTRUMENTS USED TO SENSE
INFRARED ENERGY?
ULTRAVIOLET WAVES
• UV radiation is present in sunlight, and constitutes about 10%
of the total electromagnetic radiation output from the Sun.
 X-RAYS
• THEY ARE PRODUCED BY RAPID ACCELERATION OF ELECTRONS.
• X-RAYS WITH LONG WAVELENGTHS CAN PENETRATE THROUGH FLESH BUT
NOT BONE.
• X-RAYS WITH SHORTER WAVELENGTHS CAN PENETRATE THROUGH METAL.
 GAMMA RAY
• A gamma ray, also known as gamma radiation is a penetrating form
of electromagnetic radiation arising from the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei.
