Section 1 What Is Light?
Light: An Electromagnetic Wave
• Light is a type of energy that travels as a wave. But
unlike most other types of waves, light does not
require matter through which to travel.
• Light is an electromagnetic wave (EM wave).
• An electromagnetic wave is a wave that consists of
electric and magnetic fields that vibrate at right angles
to each other.

• Electric and Magnetic Fields An electric field
surrounds every charged object. You see the effect
of electric fields whenever you see objects stuck
together by static electricity.
• A magnetic field surrounds every magnet. Because
of magnetic fields, paper clips and iron filings are
pulled toward magnets.

• How EM Waves Are Produced An EM wave can
be produced by the vibration of an electrically
charged particle.
• This vibration makes electric and magnetic fields
vibrate also. Together, the vibrating fields are an
EM wave that carries energy.
• The transfer of energy as electromagnetic waves
is called radiation.

The Speed of Light
• Scientists have yet to discover anything that travels
faster than light.
• In the near vacuum of space, the speed of light is
about 300,000 km/s. Light travels slightly slower in
air, glass, and other types of matter.

Light from the Sun
• EM waves from the sun are the major source of
energy on Earth. For example, plants use
photosynthesis to store energy from the sun.
• Animals use and store energy by eating plants
or by eating other animals that eat plants.

• Even fossil fuels store energy from the sun. Fossil
fuels are formed from the remains of plants and
animals that lived millions of years ago.
• Only a very small part of the total energy given off
by the sun reaches Earth. The sun gives off energy
as EM waves in all directions. Most of this energy
travels away in space.

Section 2 The Electromagnetic Spectrum
Characteristics of EM Waves
• The light that you can see is called visible light.
However, there is light that you can’t see.
• The light that you can see and light that you cannot
are both kinds of electromagnetic (EM) waves. Other
kinds of EM waves include X rays, radio waves, and
microwaves.
• All EM waves travel at 300,000 km/s in a vacuum.

Radio Waves
• Radio waves cover a wide range of waves in the
EM spectrum. Radio waves have some of the
longest wavelengths and the lowest frequencies
of all EM waves.
• Radio waves are any EM waves that have
wavelengths longer than 30 cm. Radio waves
are used for broadcasting radio signals.

Radio Waves, continued
• Broadcasting Radio Signals Radio stations can
encode sound information into radio waves by
varying either the waves’ amplitude or frequency.
• Changing amplitude or frequency of a wave is
called modulation. AM stands for “amplitude
modulation, and FM stands for “frequency
modulation.”

Radio Waves, continued
• Comparing AM and FM Radio Waves AM radio
waves have longer wavelengths than FM radio
waves. AM radio waves can bounce off the
atmosphere and thus can travel farther than FM
radio waves.
• But FM radio waves are less affected by electrical
noise than AM radio waves, so music broadcast
from FM sounds better than music from AM stations.

• Radio Waves and Television TV signals are also
carried by radio waves. Most TV stations broadcast
radio waves that have shorter wavelengths and
higher frequencies than those from radio stations.
• Some waves carrying TV signals are transmitted to
artificial satellites orbiting Earth. The waves are
amplified and sent to ground antennas. They the
signals travel through cables to TVs in homes.

Infrared Waves
• Infrared waves have shorter wavelengths and higher
frequencies than microwaves. The wavelengths of
infrared waves vary between 700 nanometers (nm)
and 1 mm.
• Almost everything give off infrared waves, including
the sun, buildings, trees, and your body. The amount
of infrared waves an object emits depends on the
object’s temperature. Warmer objects give off more
infrared waves than cooler objects.

• Light Source or Reflection? The tail of a firefly,
flames, light bulbs, and the sun are light sources. You
can see a light source in the dark because its light
passes directly into your eyes.

you can see them because light from light sources
reflects off the objects and the travels to your eyes.

Absorption and Scattering
• Absorption of Light The transfer of energy carried
by light waves is called absorption.
• When a beam of light shines through the air, particles
in the air absorb some of the light’s energy. As a result,
the beam of light becomes dim.

Absorption and Scattering, continued
• Scattering of Light An interaction of light with
matter that causes light to change direction is
scattering. Light scatters in all directions after
colliding with particles of matter.
• Light can be scattered out of a beam by air particles.
This scattered light allows you to see things outside
of the beam. But, the beam becomes dimmer
because light is scattered out of it.

Refraction
• Refraction is the bending of a wave as it passes at
an angle from one material to another.
• Refraction of light waves occurs because the speed
of light varies depending on the material through
which the waves are traveling.
• When a wave enters a new material at an angle, the
part of the wave that enters first begins traveling at a
different speed from that of the rest of the wave.

• Refraction and Lenses A lens is a transparent
object that refracts light to form an image.
• Convex lenses are thicker in the middle than at the
edges. When light beams pass through a convex
lens, the beams are refracted toward each other.
• Concave lenses are thinner in the middle than at the
edges. When light beams pass through a concave
lens, the beams are refracted away from each other.

straight line. Instead, it refracts.

Diffraction
• Diffraction is the bending of waves around barriers
or through openings.
• The amount a wave diffracts depends on its
wavelength and the size of the barrier or opening.
• The greatest amount of diffraction occurs when the
barrier or opening is the same size or smaller than
the wavelength.

visible light is very small.

sharp edges, or around a small barrier.

when two or more waves overlap.
