ESSENTIAL What is electromagnetic wave?

QUESTIONS What are the different kinds of EM waves?
B. Establishing a purpose
of the lesson

ESSENTIAL Electromagnetic wave (EM wave) or electromagnetic radiation is a wave

UNDERSTANDING 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.
OBJECTIVES 1. compare the relative wavelengths of different forms of electromagnetic waves
 2. compare the relative frequencies of different forms of electromagnetic waves;
and
3. identify the relationship among wavelength, frequency and energy of an
electromagnetic wave.

(decreasing, increasing) wavelength, 6. (decreasing, increasing) frequency and 7.
(decreasing, increasing) energy. 8. (Gamma ray, Radio wave) has the longest wavelength,
lowest frequency and lowest energy among all EM waves. The 9. (radio wave, visible light)
is the only EM wave that can be seen by our naked eye, whereas 10. (red, violet) has the
longest wavelength and 11. (red, violet) has the greatest frequency. On the other hand, 12.
(gamma ray, radio wave) has the shortest wavelength and highest frequency; which carries
the highest 13. (energy, wavelength) among all EM waves. Therefore 14. (gamma ray, radio
 wave) has the lowest ionizing radiation, while 15. (gamma ray, radio wave) has the highest
ionizing radiation.
