    1. The document discusses electromagnetic waves and their properties of wavelength, frequency, and energy. It explains the relationships between these properties using mathematical equations. 2. Electromagnetic waves can be described as having short or long wavelengths. Shorter wavelengths correspond to higher energy waves like gamma rays. Longer wavelengths have lower energy and include radio waves. 3. Radiation can be thought of as both waves and particles called photons. Lower energy photons behave more like waves while higher energy photons behave more like particles. 4. In satellite meteorology, the wavelengths of most interest are between 0.1 and 100 μm, which includes the wavelengths that the Sun emits most of its energy.

    Lesson 2: Electromagnetic Wave Equation


    Lecture Notes
    Competency:
    Compare the relative wavelengths of different forms of electromagnetic waves (S10FE-IIa-b-47)
    Targets:
    1. Explain the relationship between wavelength and frequency of a wave.
    2. Compute for the frequency and wavelength of a wave.

    ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES
    Electromagnetic waves can be described by their wavelengths, energy, and frequency. All three
    describe a different property of light, yet they are related to each other mathematically. The two equations below
    show the relationships:

    The wavelength of an electromagnetic wave is the distance between wave crests. The other property
    used to describe every wave is the wave amplitude which is one half the height from the peak of a crest to the
    lowest point of the wave. The distance between wave crests is measured in terms of a micrometer or micron
    (unit symbol is µm).

    pg. 1
    The size of the wavelengths of radiation range from ultra-long radio waves to high-energy gamma
    rays. The amount of energy in the wave increases as wavelengths get smaller and tighter.

    Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength but the highest amount of energy.

    When radiation is measured using very sensitive instruments at extremely low light levels it is observed
    that the energy does not arrive continuously in waves, but rather in small, finite amounts.

    This is the particle view of radiation. Particles of light are called photons. Radiation can also be thought
    of as a collection of photons, tiny but discrete packets of energy traveling at the speed of light. Low-energy
    photons, like radio photons, tend to behave more like waves, while higher energy photons (i.e. X- rays) behave
    more like particles. So even though X-rays and Gamma rays are part of the electromagnetic spectrum, scientists
    generally refer to them by describing their energies rather than their wavelengths.

    In satellite meteorology, we are concerned with radiant energy with wavelengths between 0.1 and 100
    µm. The Sun, for example, emits most of its radiant energy with a wavelength between 0.2 to 4 µm. Solar
    energy, frequently referred to as shortwave radiation (remember where it is on the spectrum), includes
    ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared radiation.

    Sample Problems:

    Note: Why must we assume that waves propagate in a vacuum? It is because the speed of light is slightly
    slower in air, glass, and any other material.
