Learning Activity Sheet 6-7

Name: ________________________________________
Subject: Science 10
Reference Module: Quarter2- Module 6: Electromagnetic Waves: Microwaves; Module 7: Electromagnetic Waves: Infrared and
Visible Light
Date: _________________________________________

I. Background Information for Learners:

Microwaves, infrared and visible light are considered low frequency and thus low-energy waves. They have various
applications such as use in telecommunications.

II. Learning Competency from Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs)

Grading Period/ Quarter Most Essential Learning Competencies K-12 CG Codes
2 Cite examples of practical applications of the S10FE-IIc-d-48
different regions of EM waves such as the use in
telecommunications

a. satellite communication e. used to kill cancer cells i. production of vitamin D in skin
b. signages f. used for sterilization j. microwave oven
c. used in production of toys g. TV transmission
d. used in making headphones h. RADARS

PART II. Direction: Evaluate whether true or false.

_____1. All objects emit infrared radiation.
_____2. If not because of the visible light, we’ll not be able to see the beauty of the earth.
_____3. In infrared light, shades of blue and green indicate regions of warmer temperature while red and yellow are colder.
_____4. Colors of white light travel at the same speed but come in different wavelength.
_____5. The differences in color determine the differences in temperature.
_____6. The visible light shares the thinnest slice in the EM spectrum.
_____7. The amount of wavelength of radiation depends on temperature.
_____8. Red light has the shortest wavelength while violet has the longest in white light.
_____9. White light breaks down into red, orange and yellow.
_____10. Our eyes can detect microwaves.

IV. REFLECTION:
In your own words, differentiate microwaves, infrared rays and visible light in terms of wavelength, energy and frequency.
