The EM Spectrum
11 April 2023
Objectives
Be able to describe the order of the em-spectrum and know how fast light
travels. HSW: AF5: Process data using multi-step calculations to identify complex relationships between variables.
Used before in: Will use again in:
PLTS: Independent enquirers: support conclusions, using reasoned arguments and evidence.
Used before in: Will use again in:
KeywordsWavelength, lamda, amplitude, frequency, Hertz, kilohertz,
megahertz, speed, metres, kilometres.

Outcomes
All students should be able to: Describe that there are different types of
visible and invisible light each with different properties.
Most students should be able to: State the speed of light.Some students should be able to:Explain that the em-spectrum can be
described in different sections because of different wavelengths and frequencies and that this effects how much energy the light has.

Electromagnetic Radiation
E-M radiation is basically a movement of energy in the form of a wave. Some examples:

Practical Time
• Dispersion practical.
• Can you split light up?
• What do you see?
• Now watch the demo
• Draw what you see (how can you remember what you see?)

The Electromagnetic Spectrum
• Demonstration
• Your teacher will show you the EM-Spectrum and describe the sections.
• How do we know they are all there?
• Why aren’t there any more than this?

The Electromagnetic Spectrum
Gamma rays
X-rays Ultra violet Visible light
Infra red Microwaves
Radio/TV
Each type of radiation shown in the electromagnetic spectrum has a different wavelength and a different frequency:
Each of these types travels at the same speed through a _______ (300,000,000m/s), and different wavelengths are absorbed by different surfaces (e.g. infra red is absorbed very well by ___________ surfaces). This absorption may heat the material up (like infra red and _______) or cause an alternating current (like in a __ _______).
Words – black, microwaves, long, short, TV aerial, vacuum
High frequency, _____ wavelength
Low frequency, _____ (high) wavelength
