Electromagnetic Spectrum

Akopọ

Radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays look like seven different things, but they are one family: the electromagnetic spectrum. They differ only in frequency and wavelength, and they all race through space at the same enormous speed.

In this lesson you will put the regions in order, learn the everyday uses of each, understand the harm that too much of each can do, and use the fact that all electromagnetic waves travel at \(3.0 \times 10^{8}\,\text{m/s}\) in a vacuum. This is one of the most fact-rich and frequently tested topics in the course.

Awọn Afojusun

  1. Know the main regions of the electromagnetic spectrum in order of frequency and in order of wavelength
  2. Know that all electromagnetic waves travel at the same high speed in a vacuum
  3. Describe typical uses of the different regions of the electromagnetic spectrum including: (a) radio waves; radio and television transmissions, astronomy, radio frequency identification (RFID) (b) m icrowaves; satellite television, mobile phones (cell phones), microwave ovens (c) infrared; electric grills, short range communications such as remote controllers for televisions, intruder alarms, thermal imaging, optical fibres (d) visible light; vision, photography, illumination (e) ultraviolet; security marking, detecting fake bank notes, sterilising water (f) X-rays; medical scanning, security scanners (g) gamma rays; sterilising food and medical equipment, detection of cancer and its treatment
  4. Describe the harmful effects on people of excessive exposure to electromagnetic radiation, including: (a) microwaves; internal heating of body cells (b) infrared; skin burns (c) ultraviolet; damage to surface cells and eyes, leading to skin cancer and eye conditions (d) X-rays and gamma rays; mutation or damage to cells in the body
  5. [Supplement] Know that the speed of electromagnetic waves in a vacuum is 3.0 × 108 m / s and is approximately the same in air

Akọ̀wé Ẹ̀kọ́

From the radio in your pocket to the X-ray at the dentist, the electromagnetic spectrum is the backbone of modern communication, medicine and technology. Knowing the order of the regions, what each is used for and why each can be dangerous is both useful knowledge and a reliable source of exam marks.
