MY SPECTRUM WHEEL
I. OBJECTIVES:
a. Construct a spectrum wheel; and
b. Explore the characteristics of light such as energy, frequency, and wavelength.
II. MATERIALS:
a. Spectrum Wheel Pattern
b. Cardboard or Illustrated Board
c. Button Fastener
d. Glue or Paste
III. PROCEDURE:
a. Characteristics of Light
Frequency Frequency x
EM Spectrum Energy (eV) Wavelength (m)
(Hz or s-1) Wavelength (m/s)
Radio
Microwave
Infrared
Visible Light
Ultraviolet
X-ray
Gamma Ray
IV. GUIDE QUESTIONS:
1. How are frequency and wavelength related for a specific region of the spectrum?
2. What can you observe with the values of the product of frequency and wavelength in the different
spectra?
