Electromagnetic waves are a group of energy waves that ‘are mostly invisible and can travel through empty space These energies bombard our bodies all day long, but we are only aware of a very small portion of them: visible light (colors), infrared light (heat), and ultraviolet (sunburn) meni 7 Electromagnetic energy is created by vibrations that produce waves. Each electromagnetic wave emits a different level of energy. These energies travel silently atthe speed of light and produce a “signature” wave - with a unique range of length, energy, and frequency ~ that scientis can identify and measure. Wercan measure the energy of an electromagnetic wave by measuring its frequency Frequency refers to the number of waves a vibration creates during a period of time. In general, the higher the frequency, or number of waves, the greater the energy of thevadaton @) -—— When we use the te ferm “light”, referring toa grou ei IP of el waves called visible light mimo When tight ofthat particular wavcene we perceive thal specie color senaatens Mes oe 9 \ — When light interacts with objects, itis either absorbed, reflected, transmitted, or refracted. ‘Absorption — The loss of light as it passes through a material = Another popular group of waves from the electromagnetic spectrum involves infrared. Infrared radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation that involves heat. or thermal radiation All objects emit (give out) and absorb (take in) thermal radiation, a Let's look at an example of absorption. \When you go to the dentist, one of the first things they do is obtain an x-ray of you. Unnecessary exposure of x-ray radiation can be harmful, so doctors try to minimize the ‘area thal those electromagnetic waves interact with your body by making you wear special protective clothing, & light by a material i @ Reflection ~ The return of What do these spe: I clothes do? “These protective clothes contain some amount of a dense element, lead, in them. The high density ofthis element allows x-rays to be absorbed by atoms in lead, decreasing the energy of the x-rays. Lead, in turn, ‘shields your body from unnecessary radiation by absorbing x-rays. How do microwaves heat up food? Microwaves utilize the fact that food contains water molecules. When a microwave is turned on, the eneray from microwaves is absorbed by water molecules in food, making them vibrate. These vibrations give off heat, which warms up your food oe 7 nother example of absorption of electromagnetic waves in our daily lives involve the use of a microwave. Microwaves are widely used to quickly heat up food Microwaves are also referred to as range of waves in the tlectromagnetic spectrum with a specific wavelength and frequency. a] 2 — Lef's look at an example of reflection. Reflection occurs when light is retuned by an object, ‘Aithough many objects reflect light, common examples include mirrors and smooth water surfaces. tlie, [> How di loes an obj 7 object reflect light in a mirror?

When light strikes an object that has rough surface, the light scatters everywhere instead of bouncing off at equal angles. = ommmme Let's look at an example of transmission. all ight v=" Gan) ¢ Electromagnetic waves can also change the temperature of an object, Earlier, we saw an example of how microwaves can heat tup food. Other elegtromagnetic waves can be used to ‘change temperature of an object. As mentioned before, infrared radiation isa type of electromagnetic radiation that involves heat. When infrared waves come in contact mith an object, the waves transfer heat to that object. ee Materials are chosen for specific applications due to their special Properties. Materials that conduct heat readily are called thermal Conductors hates tat mit her thermal insulators. cae Materials that allow flow of electrical current are called electrical conductors. Materials that limit the flow of electrical currents are called electrical insulators eee Conduction involves transferring heat between substances that are in direct contact with each other. Good thermal conductors include metals such as aluminum, steel, and copper. of ts a 7 Good thermal insulators include nonmetals such as uw and styrof ae - ‘Gus — ® popular example of conduction can be found in cooking ‘When a pot is on the stove, heat is transferred from the stove to the pot. The pot is made of metal, so itis a good thermal conductor. Most pots have a handle made of rubber so you don’t fee! heat when you pick up a pot from the handle. This is because rubber is a good thermal insulator and doesn't allow heat to be transferred to the handle. —— Materials can expand or contract due to presence or absence of of heat. ‘Thermometers are a great example that invoWe substances expanding and.contracing due to varying temperature. ‘Thermometers conlain @ special liquid, mercury, which is @ good thermal conductor.
