Lesson 16: Electromagnetic Radiation!
!
Part 1: EMR!
!
Electromagnetic radiation comes in the form of waves that carry energy in the form of electric and magnetic
fields through space. Electromagnetic radiation is often shorted to EMR or EM waves. !
!
EM waves are produced when a charged particle is accelerated.!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves
made up of perpendicular electric and magnetic
fields. !
!
Transverse means:!
!

!
The wavelength of a transverse wave is from peak to peak:!

Part 2: The Electromagnetic Spectrum!
!
The electromagnetic spectrum is the full range of all possible frequencies of EMR. Visible light is just a tiny part
of the EM spectrum. The rainbow of colours that we can see is found in the middle with wavelengths ranging
from 750 nm to 400 nm. !

Why is a car’s radio reception often distorted when a car is driving near high-voltage transmission lines
or under steel-reinforced concrete?!
An electromagnetic wave is travelling straight up perpendicular to the Earth’s surface. If its electric field
is oscillating in an east-west plane, what is the direction of oscillation for the magnetic field?!
Calculate the quantity indicated for each of the following electromagnetic waves:!
A.! The frequency of a 1.8 cm microwave. (1.7 x 1010 Hz)!
B.! The wavelength of a 3.2 x 1010 Hz radar signal. (9.4 mm)!
C.! The distance between adjacent maxima of magnetic field strength in the electromagnetic wave
coming from a 60 Hz transmission line. (5.0 x 106 m)!
D.! The frequency of red visible light of wavelength 650 nm. (4.6 x 1014 Hz)!
Two football fans are listening to a Grey Cup game on radio, one in Montreal where it is being played,
and the other in the Northwest Territories, 6000 km away. The distant signal is transmitted by
microwaves using a communications satellite at an altitude of 36000 km. Making whatever assumptions
seem reasonable, determine how much sooner the fan in Montreal hears the results of any play. (0.24 s)!
What is the wavelength of a certain EMR that has a period of 5.65 x 10-11 s? (0.0170 m)!
A planet is 7.60 x 1012 m from Earth. How long will it take a radio signal to travel to this planet and back?
(5.07 x 104 s)!
12.! Explain in general terms why x-rays and gamma rays are especially likely to cause cancers in the cells of
the skin, bone marrow and intestinal lining.!
