WAVES (EM
waves)/
ELECTROMAG
NETIC
RADIATION
EM waves
consist of
oscillating electric
fields and magnetic
fields which are
perpendicular to
each other.
 Electromagnetic Waves
•Visible light
•Radio waves
•Infrared
•Ultraviolet
•X-rays
•Gamma rays
What is
light?
- is just one part of the
electromagnetic
spectrum, the part that
our eyes can see.
•Electromagnetic radiation that
acts like both wave and
particle.
 Examples of light
waves/visible lights

Sun Star Firefly Fire

Kerosene Bulb
lamp Flashlight
Wavelength- is the
distance between
adjacent parts of a
wave

Frequency- refers to the

number of waves that
pass through a fixed
point at a given time.
•Wavelength from 400nm to
700nm

•Violet light-shortest
wavelength

•Red light-longest wavelength

• The higher the frequency, the more waves
pass through each point and vice versa.
• Frequency is directly related to energy,
where the higher the frequency of the
wave, the higher its energy.
 What Type of Wave is Light?
EM waves Sound waves
• Transverse as they travel in a
direction at right angle to
the fields.
• Longitudinal that travel in a
direction along the
direction of oscillation of
the particles in the medium
it passes through.
