Facts about the difference between the EM waves

By L.Lee A.Osorio, K.Merryman

Radio and Television waves
Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation that has a much longer
wavelength than visible light and they are used mainly for communication. These
are made by negatively charged electrons to make them move back and forth in a
antenna usually found in a radio or tv. Its radiation could burn the inside of your
skin if left alone for to long.
Radio and Television waves (2)
Radio and Television waves are about 3 meters when being broadcasted it is also
broadcasted at 90 MHz. Radio waves were one of the first waves to be commonly used
across the world.
Microwave waves
1. Microwave waves are made by a device called

A magnetron this uses quick waves and are very

Small that makes it work.

2. Microwave waves are used in phones and microwaves.

3. Some of the dangers of microwave waves are that with constant presence near
microwave waves you could get burns and callus.
Microwave waves PT:2
Since a microwave wave is a narrow focused frequency it will travel in a straight
line and can penetrate earth's atmosphere.

Microwave communication is clear over a long distance through space. In 1959

U.S. Navy engineers discovered microwave waves could bounce off other things
in our solar system.
Infrared light
Infrared light is Infrared light is used
absorbing by for night vision
devices for humans
the atmosphere
to see in the dark
and the surface Infrared light is
dangerous to the
visual organs

nm and 1 mm
and 300 GHz-

400 Thz
Visible light
Visible light is created Visible light is used Visible light is
from electromagnetic for photography dangerous because it
waves fall. and electrics can explode if its
intensity is high
enough it can cause
big damage.
 The length of a UV wave is 100 -
UV light waves 400 nm, The smaller a EM wave is
the more dangerous and harmful it
Uv ray is a light wave that is is to the human body. UV wave
frequency is around to 7.5 x 10 to
given from the sun UV light
the power of 14.
wave can be both good and bad,
as opposed to other more
harmful waves like gamma
waves. UV light waves are made
from the sun, they are used for
many things such as power from
solar panels,tanning,vitamin D,
ect. UV light waves can also be
bad for you as it can give skin
cancer & sun burns, Uv lights
UV waves are in the lives of UV waves, 2
humans everyday, the sun
gives of UV “ultra violet” waves
to every single human beings.
UV waves are something that
you need because it contains
UV waves as any other EM waves are invisible but are
vitamin D wich is needed in the
human body to stay healthy,
many different sizes, for example radio waves are the
but to much can be horrible for
biggest EM waves there are, as they are scaled to about
human skin and it can result to
the size of a large mountain.,
a lot of pain towards your body.
X- rays can hurt your skin badly
too much radiation from x ray can
do a lot of harm to the skin
tissue.Which is why doctors leave
the room when using x rays.

X-rays eye sight are very powerful

light waves, as they are the second
X Ray most dangerous out of of the many
EM waves. are made from
accelerated EM radiation coming
together allowing people to see
through things. An insane amount of
X-ray light can result to hair loss, skin
irritation, and bad eyesight.
X-Ray,2
X- rays as same as any
other small light waves
are microscopic at the
size of nearly 100 eV
and the wavelength of
0.01- 100 nm. X-rays
are used every day by
doctors from using X-
rays to see your bones
to seeing if your teeth
are healthy.
Gamma waves are the most dangerous out of all 7 EM waves,
which also means that gamma waves are the smallest type of wave
you can find. Gamma waves are created from very powerful
sources of energy such as supernovas and stars, they are traveling
in a lot of different places like how they practically orbit black holes.
Gamma waves very dangerous as they can pass through your body
messing up your dna and irritating your skin,which is why you
should be incredibly careful when dealing with gamma waves.

Gamma Waves
Gamma waves are used in many
things as they have been used in
radioactive medicine, industries,
radio therapy, ect.
Gamma waves are used in many
interesting and useful ways but
too much radiation is horrible for
you,gamma waves have the most
energy as they are the most
radioactive EM wave there is.
Gamma waves are also incredibly Gamma Wave,2
hot, as they are very dangerous
they can barely pass through solid
objects like stone, wood,ect but
can easily penetrate human
tissue.
