Quiz: These Are My Kind of Waves!

I. Direction: Identify the type of EM wave being described by each of the

following statements in Column A, write your answers in Column B.

Table: Types of EM Waves

Colum A Column B
1. They come just after the ultraviolet
rays. They are of shorter wavelength
but carries higher energy than the UV.
2. They have smaller wavelengths than
radiowaves. They are used in satellite
communications, radar, television
transmission and cooking.
3. They lie at the other end of the
electromagnetic spectrum. They are
shortest in wavelength and highest in
frequency. They carry the highest
amount of energy; thus, they are more
dangerous. These are emitted by stars
and some radioactive substances.
4. When white light passes through a
prism, itis separated into its
constituent colors: the red, orange,
yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.
These colors do not distinctly separate
but they continuously change from red
to violet.
5. This lies just beyond the violet end
of the visible spectrum. It has
shorter wavelength than the visible
light and carry more energy.
6. They have the longest wavelength
in the electromagnetic spectrum. They
are produced by making electrons
vibrate in an antenna. They are used to
transmit sound and picture
information over long distances.
 7. This lies beyond the red end of the
visible light. It is emitted by all objects.
The amount and wavelength of
radiation depend on temperature

II. Guide Question: Enumerate at least one practical application of each type
of EM wave.

Learners will competently understand the differentiate of each regions in
electromagnetic spectrum, its wavelength, frequency and energy and its
possible effect.
