Electromagnetic Waves & the Electromagnetic Spectrum electromagnetic spectrum power point Electromagnetic Waves • Transverse waves without a medium! • (They can travel through empty space) electromagnetic spectrum power point • They travel as vibrations in electrical and magnetic fields. – Have some magnetic and some electrical properties to them. electromagnetic spectrum power point • When an electric field changes, so does the magnetic field. The changing magnetic field causes the electric field to change. When one field vibrates—so does the other. • RESULT-An electromagnetic wave. electromagnetic spectrum power point • Electromagnetic waves travel • VERY FAST • around 300,000,000 m/s • the speed of light At this speed they can go around the world 8 times in one second. electromagnetic spectrum power point • • Waves or Particles? Electromagnetic radiation has properties of waves but also can be thought of as a stream of particles. • Light as a wave: Light behaves as a transverse wave which we can filter using polarized lenses. • Light as particles (photons): When directed at a substance light can knock electrons off of a substance (Photoelectric effect) electromagnetic spectrum power point • Electromagnetic Spectrum—name for the range of electromagnetic waves when placed in order of increasing frequency RADIO WAVES INFRARED RAYS MICROWAVES ULTRAVIOLET RAYS VISIBLE LIGHT electromagnetic spectrum power point GAMMA RAYS X-RAYS Notice the wavelength is long (Radio waves) and gets shorter (Gamma Rays) electromagnetic spectrum power point electromagnetic spectrum power point RADIO WAVES • Have the longest wavelengths and lowest frequencies of all the electromagnetic waves. electromagnetic spectrum power point • Global Positioning Systems (GPS) measure the time it takes a radio wave to travel from several satellites to the receiver, determining the distance to each satellite. electromagnetic spectrum power point • A radio picks up radio waves through an antenna and converts it to sound waves. – Each radio station in an area broadcasts at a different frequency. • # on radio dial tells frequency. electromagnetic spectrum power point MRI (MAGNETIC RESONACE IMAGING) Uses Short wave radio waves with a magnet to create an image. electromagnetic spectrum power point MICROWAVES • Have the shortest wavelengths and the highest frequency of the radio waves. electromagnetic spectrum power point Used in microwave ovens. • Waves transfer energy to the water in the food causing them to vibrate which in turn transfers energy in the form of heat to the food. electromagnetic spectrum power point RADAR (Radio Detection and Ranging) • Used to find the speed of an object by sending out radio waves and measuring the time it takes them to return. electromagnetic spectrum power point INFRARED RAYS • Infrared= below red • Shorter wavelength and higher frequency than microwaves. electromagnetic spectrum power point • You can feel the longest ones as warmth on your skin Warm objects give off more heat energy than cool objects. electromagnetic spectrum power point Thermogram—a picture that shows regions of different temperatures in the body. Temperatures are calculated by the amount of infrared radiation given off. •Therefore people give off infrared rays. •Heat lamps give off infrared waves. electromagnetic spectrum power point VISIBLE LIGHT • Shorter wavelength and higher frequency than infrared rays. • Electromagnetic waves we can see. • Longest wavelength= red light • Shortest wavelength= violet (purple) light electromagnetic spectrum power point When light enters a new medium it bends (refracts). Each wavelength bends a different amount allowing white light to separate into it’s various colors ROYGBIV. electromagnetic spectrum power point ULTRAVIOLET RAYS • Shorter wavelength and higher frequency than visible light • Carry more energy than visible light electromagnetic spectrum power point • Used to kill bacteria. (Sterilization of equipment) electromagnetic spectrum power point • Too much can cause skin cancer. • Use sun block to protect against (UV rays) electromagnetic spectrum power point • Causes your skin to produce vitamin D (good for teeth and bones) electromagnetic spectrum power point X- RAYS • Shorter wavelength and higher frequency than UV-rays • Carry a great amount of energy • Can penetrate most matter. electromagnetic spectrum power point Bones and teeth absorb x-rays. (The light part of an x-ray image indicates a place where the xray was absorbed) electromagnetic spectrum power point Too much exposure can cause cancer (lead vest at dentist protects organs from unnecessary exposure) electromagnetic spectrum power point • Used by engineers to check for tiny cracks in structures. – The rays pass through the cracks and the cracks appear dark on film. electromagnetic spectrum power point GAMMA RAYS • Shorter wavelength and higher frequency than X-rays • Carry the greatest amount of energy and penetrate the most. electromagnetic spectrum power point • Used in radiation treatment to kill cancer cells. • Can be very harmful if not used correctly. electromagnetic spectrum power point • The Incredible Hulk was the victim of gamma radiation. electromagnetic spectrum power point Exploding nuclear weapons emit gamma rays. electromagnetic spectrum power point Frequency Ranges • Wavelengths • 104 101 1 10-2 10-5 10-6 10-8 10-10 10-12 • Frequencies (cycles per sec) 3 x 106 3 x 1010 3 x 1014 3 x 1016 3 x1018 3 x10 22 • Brief SUMMARY • A. All electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed. (300,000,000 meters/second) in a vacuum. • B. They all have different wavelengths and different frequencies. – Long wavelength-lowest frequency – Short wavelength highest frequency – The higher the frequency the higher the energy. electromagnetic spectrum power point C (speed of EMS waves) = λf • The frequency (f) of a wave is the number of waves to cross a point in 1 second (units are Hertz – cycles/sec or sec-1) • λ is the wavelength- the distance from crest to crest on a wave • The product of wavelength and frequency always equals the speed of light. C = λf • Why does this make sense? • NOTE: c is a constant value= 3.00 x 108 m/s PROBLEMS • Calculate the wavelength of yellow light emitted from a sodium lamp if the frequency is 5.10 x 1014 Hz (5.10 x 1014 s-1) List the known info List the unknown c = 3.00 x 1010 cm/s wavelength (λ) = ? cm Frequency (v) = 5.10 x 1014 s-1 C = λf λ=c f λ = 3.00 x 1010 cm/s = 5.88 x 10-5 cm 5.10 x 1014 s-1 YOUR TURN 1- What is the wavelength of radiation with a frequency of 1.50 x 1013 s-1? 2- What frequency is radiation with a wavelength of 5.00 x 10-6 cm? In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum is this radiation? electromagnetic spectrum power point
