Sci10 Las Q2 W1

This document provides a learning activity sheet for 10th grade science students on electromagnetic waves. It begins with definitions of key wave terms. Students are then asked to create waves by moving a rope up and down at different speeds and observe differences. Next, tables ask students to determine wavelength ranges and frequencies of different EM waves based on a figure. Questions ask students to compare wavelengths and frequencies across EM waves. The activity aims to help students understand differences between EM waves.

MELC : Compare the relative wavelengths of different forms of electromagnetic waves
(S10FE-IIa-b-47)
Objective/s: 1. Compare the relative wavelengths of different forms of electromagnetic waves.
2. Compare the relative frequencies of different forms of electromagnetic waves.

WHAT IS IT
DIFFERENT FORMS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES
You have learned about waves during your Science 7 class. Let’s recall some important
terms about waves. Below are descriptions of different terms relating to waves.
1. WAVE - It is a disturbance in space.
2. CREST - It is the highest point in a wave.
3. TROUGH - It is the lowest point in a wave.
4. AMPLITUDE - It is the distance from the midpoint to the highest (or lowest) point of a wave.
5. WAVELENGTH - It is the distance between two successive identical parts of a wave.
6. FREQUENCY - It refers to the number of waves produced in one second.
7. RANGE - It refers to the extent or the limits between which variation is possible.

When you move your hands up and down while holding one end of the rope, you create wave
on the rope. The waves you created may look different depending on how fast you move your hand.
Similarly, if you move an electrically charged object back and forth in an empty space, you’ll create
electromagnetic waves in space. But what is an electromagnetic wave?

Electromagnetic wave (EM wave) or electromagnetic radiation is a wave that is created as


a result of vibrations between an electric field and magnetic field, hence known as ‘electromagnetic
wave’. Recall Oersted’s discovery: A changing electric field produces magnetic field. A changing
magnetic field is therefore produced around a vibrating charge. And according to Michael Faraday,
the changing magnetic field will produce electric field. A wave carries energy as it propagates, EM
wave does the same, too. EM waves can travel through anything even on vacuum, meaning they
do not need any medium to travel. They travel in a vacuum at a speed of 3x108 m/s.

There are seven different types of EM waves. They are arranged in a gradual progression
from the waves of lowest frequency to highest frequency. This arrangement of EM waves is called
electromagnetic spectrum. In order of increasing frequency, the EM spectrum includes radio waves,
microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-ray, and gamma ray.
Now let’s strengthen your concepts regarding the different EM waves by comparing their
relative wavelengths and frequencies. And as you move along, discover some characteristics of EM
waves. So, if you’re ready to ride the waves, answer the following enrichment activities and dive into
the world of EM waves. Have fun!

LEARNING AREA: SCIENCE GRADE LEVEL: 10
QUARTER: 2 WEEK: 1
MELC: Compare the relative wavelengths of different forms of electromagnetic waves

Objective/s: 1. Compare the relative wavelengths of different forms of electromagnetic waves.
2. Compare the relative frequencies of different forms of electromagnetic waves.
WHAT I CAN DO
ACTIVITY 1: MAKING WAVES!
You have probably seen a wave, but have you created one? Let’s try and make some waves.
Direction: Get a rope of any kind and tie one end of it to a fixed sturdy object near you. Now,
straighten the rope and hold the other end of it. Start moving your hands up and down. Observe
what happens to the rope. Were you able to make a wave? Draw the wave you made on the box
provided.

Now, try to make a wave again but move your hands slowly. Observe what happens. Draw the
image of the wave you created.

This time, make a wave while moving your hands fast. Draw the image of the wave.

Based on the activity, is there any difference on the waves you have created? Why does each
created wave look differently?

ACTIVITY 2: IT’S WAVELENGTH!
Wavelength is the distance between crest to crest or trough to trough. EM waves are bounded at
different ranges. Meaning each type of EM waves has upper and lower limits on the spectrum.
Direction: Using the figure below, determine the wavelength ranges of each of the forms of
electromagnetic waves. Answer the given table. Afterwards answer the questions that follow.

Electromagnetic Waves Wavelength Range (meters)


Radio Wave
Microwave
Infrared
Visible Light
Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue
Violet
Ultraviolet
X-ray
Gamma Ray

Q1. Which electromagnetic wave has the longest wavelength?


_____________________________________________________________________________

Q2. Which electromagnetic wave has the shortest wavelength?


_____________________________________________________________________________

Q3. Observe what happens to the wavelength of the electromagnetic waves as they progress (goes
rightward from the figure). Does the wavelength of the EM waves increase or decrease as we go
from radio wave to gamma ray?

Q1. Which among the EM waves has the highest frequency?
____________________________________________________________________________
Q2. Which among the EM waves has the lowest frequency?
_____________________________________________________________________________
Q3. The energy of an EM wave also depends on its frequency, which means waves with higher
frequency has higher energy too. Which among the EM waves has the highest energy?
_________________________________________________________
Q4. Which among the EM waves has the lowest energy?
_____________________________________________________________________________
Q5. What happens to the frequency of the electromagnetic waves as it progresses? Does the
frequency of the EM waves increase or decrease as we go from radio wave to gamma ray?

WHAT I HAVE LEARNED WHAT IS MORE
Based on the activity, is there any
difference on the waves you have
created? Why does each created wave
look differently?
Sample answer:
Yes. Each waves created is different
from each other because on how fast
or slow you move the rope. The
movement of your hand makes the
wave wider or narrower.
