I Can #3:identify and describe the 7 waves of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Unlike mechanical waves, EM Waves can travel through empty space.

Light waves are an example of EM waves.

Radio WavesRadio Waves

Longest wavelength (average size=length of football field)

Lowest frequency and energy

Used in radios and can carry signals for cell phones and television.

MicrowavesMicrowaves

Longer microwaves (about a foot) used in microwaves to heat our food.

They pass through glass, plastics, and ceramics, but are reflected by thick metal. They are absorbed by water, fats, and sugars--when absorbed they convert directly to heat.

InfraredInfrared

Range in size--far infrared light (size of pinhead) to near infrared light (size of a cell).

Far infrared waves are the heat waves we feel from sunlight, a fire, a warm sidewalk, or a heat lamp.

Near infrared are not hot at all--used in remote controls.

Ultraviolet (UV) Light

More energy than visible light and shorter wavelength

Positive Effects: kill bacteria on food and during surgery. Stimulates production of Vitamin D in our skin cells.

Negative Effects: skin cancer, sunburn, and wrinkles,

Where may you have seen UV light before in your life?

Transmission happens when light waves strike something and passes through it.

When you see through glass, it is because light is able to pass through the glass.

If the light wave enters

perpendicular to the medium, it

transmits straight through

medium.

If the light wave enters the medium at an angle--the light

wave bends.

The change in the speed of light causes the rays of light to BEND.

The greater the difference between the speeds of light, the more the light will bend.

SO, the MORE DENSE MEDIUM = MORE BEND
