    The Electromagnetic Spectrum: Ms. Ma. Norma Datu Renomeron, Maed

    Uploaded by

    Kimberly Flores
    The document describes the electromagnetic spectrum. It begins by explaining that electromagnetic waves were first generated and detected by Heinrich Hertz in 1887. It then defines electromagnetic radiation as energy that travels and spreads as it moves, including visible light, radio waves, microwaves, infrared light, ultraviolet light, X-rays, and gamma rays. The document provides a chart showing the electromagnetic spectrum from highest to lowest energy. It presents examples of calculating the wavelength, frequency, and energy of electromagnetic waves using relevant equations. Finally, it provides practice problems for students to identify types of electromagnetic radiation based on given wavelengths or frequencies.

    THE ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM

    MS. MA. NORMA DATU RENOMERON, MAED


    LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

    ➢ Describe the main components of the


    electromagnetic spectrum.

    ➢ State the properties of ALL EM waves.

    ➢ Discuss the role of the respective EM waves


    and some of their applications.
    ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES

    • First generated and detected by Heinrich Hertz in 1887.


    • Classified as transverse waves
    • It’s electric and magnetic fields are perpendicular to each other, and
    to the direction of propagation.
    ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM

    • The electromagnetic (EM) spectrum is the range of all


    types of EM radiation.
    • Radiation is energy that travels and spreads out as it
    goes – the visible light that comes from a lamp in your
    house and the radio waves that come from a radio
    station are two types of electromagnetic radiation.
    • The other types of EM radiation that make up the
    electromagnetic spectrum are microwaves, infrared
    light, ultraviolet light, X-rays and gamma-rays.
    The electromagnetic spectrum from highest to lowest energy
    (from shortest to longest wavelength)
    The comparison of wavelength, frequency and energy for the electromagnetic spectrum

    SEATWORK:

    Solve the following problems. Identify the type of radiation in each problem
    based on the computed answer. (Note: Use the EM spectrum as a
    reference for the type of radiation.

    8. What is the frequency of a 5.6 x 1010 um wave?
    SEATWORK:

    II. Energy of the waves. Solve the following problems by applying the
    equation for the energy of the waves.

    1. What is the energy of an ultraviolet photon having a wavelength of 1.18


    x 10-8 m?

    2. A photon has an energy of 1.1 x 10-13 J. What is the photon’s


    wavelength?
