E. Abstraction
After the presentation the teacher will explain further the lesson through PowerPoint
Presentation.
 Radio waves – have the longest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum. The radio
“receives” these electromagnetic radio waves and converts them to mechanical vibrations in
the speaker to create the sound waves you can hear.
  Microwaves - is a form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths ranging from
about one meter to one millimeter; with frequencies between 300 MHz (1 m) and
300 GHz (1 mm).
 Infrared – have longer wavelengths than visible light and can pass through dense regions
of gas and dust in space with less scattering and absorption.
 Optical waves – are combinations of high-frequency electrical fields and magnetic fields in
the wavelength range from the infrared through the visible to the ultraviolet light .
 Ultraviolet - (UV) light has shorter wavelengths than visible light. Although UV waves are
invisible to the human eye, some insects, such as bumblebees, can see them. 
 X-rays - are a form of electromagnetic radiation, similar to visible light. have higher energy
and can pass through most objects, including the body. Medical x-rays are used to generate
images of tissues and structures inside the body.
 gamma ray, or gamma radiation (symbol γ or.), is a penetrating form of
electromagnetic radiation arising from the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei. It consists of
the shortest wavelength electromagnetic waves and so imparts the highest photon energy.

 Properties of electromagnetic waves

 Amplitude or height of a wave is measured from the peak to the trough. The wavelength is
measured from peak to peak.
 Wavelength is directly related to the frequency of a given wave form. Frequency refers to
the number of waves that pass a given point in a given time period and is often expressed
in terms of hertz (Hz), or cycles per second. Longer wavelengths will have lower
frequencies, and shorter wavelengths will have higher frequencies.

 Light Waves The visible spectrum is the portion of the larger electromagnetic spectrum that
we can see. the electromagnetic spectrum encompasses all of the electromagnetic
radiation that occurs in our environment and includes gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet light,
visible light, infrared light, microwaves, and radio waves. The visible spectrum in humans is
associated with wavelengths that range from 380 to 740 nm—a very small distance, since a
nanometer
(nm) is one
billionth of a
meter.
 

 Sound Waves The frequency of a sound wave is associated with our perception of that
sound’s pitch. High-frequency sound waves are perceived as high-pitched sounds, while
low-frequency sound waves are perceived as low-pitched sounds. The audible range of
sound frequencies is between 20 and 20000 Hz, with greatest sensitivity to those
frequencies that fall in the middle of this range.
