Most Essential Learning Competencies
Compare the relative wavelengths of different forms
of electromagnetic waves
Specific Objectives:
1. Enumerate the types of electromagnetic waves.
2. Differentiate the EM waves in terms of
wavelength, frequency, and energy.
ELECTROMAGNET
IC RADIATION

Electromagnetic radiation is a
special kind of energy that
travels in waves through space.
It is like a wave of energy that
can move without needing
anything else to carry it, even in
space.
Making Electromagnetic Waves
• When an electric charge vibrates, the electric field around it changes
creating a changing magnetic field.
Making Electromagnetic Waves

• The magnetic and electric fields create each other again and again.
Making Electromagnetic Waves
• An EM wave travels in all directions. The figure only shows a wave
traveling in one direction.
TYPES OF ELECTROMAGNETIC
WAVES

Radio waves Microwaves Infrared Visible Light


TYPES OF ELECTROMAGNETIC
RADIATION

Visible Light Ultraviolet X-Radiation Gamma Ray


01 RADIO
WAVES

These are the waves that allow


us to listen to the radio. They
have long wavelengths and low
frequencies. Radio waves are
used for broadcasting music,
news, and other information.
02 MICRO
WAVES

Microwaves have shorter


wavelengths and higher
frequencies than radio waves.
They are used in microwave
ovens to cook and heat food.
They are also used for
communication, such as cell
phones and Wi-Fi.
03 INFRARED
RADIATIO
N
Infrared radiation is sometimes
called "heat radiation" because
we feel it as warmth. It has
longer wavelengths than visible
light. Infrared radiation is used in
devices like TV remote controls
and thermal cameras.
04 VISIBLE
LIGHT

This is the type of


electromagnetic radiation that
allows us to see the world around
us. Visible light comes in different
colors, like red, orange, yellow,
green, blue, indigo, and violet.
Each color has a different
wavelength.
05 ULTRAVIOLE
T
RADIATION
UV radiation has shorter
wavelengths and higher
frequencies than visible light. It
comes from the sun and is
responsible for causing sunburns.
We can't see UV radiation, but it
can be harmful to our skin and
eyes.
06 X-
RADIATIO
N
X-rays have even shorter
wavelengths and higher
frequencies than UV radiation.
They can pass through our bodies
and are used in medical imaging,
like X-ray machines, to see our
bones and organs.
07 GAMMA
RADIATION

Gamma rays have the shortest


wavelengths and highest
frequencies of all the radiations.
They are produced during
nuclear reactions and can be
very harmful. Scientists use
gamma rays to treat cancer.
