Electromagnetic spectrum
• Radiation – energy that is transmitted from one place to another by waves.
• - it has both magnetic and electric properties
• - carry energy through vacuum and matter
• Spectrum – an array

Parts of a wave:crest – top of wave
trough – bottom of wave

Wavelength• Larger wl – slower wave travels• Less dangerous
• Smaller wl – faster wave travels
• More energy• Moredangerous• ww.pbslearningmedia.org/

Frequency of a wave

Wave frequency-number of waves per second.

Important waves on EMS.• Radio waves – longest wave• Microwaves • Infrared waves – heat• Visible light – ROYGBIV, (wl from larger to smaller)• Ultra violet light – damages tissue
causes skin cancer
• X-rays – absorbed by bones• Gamma waves – radiation - very powerful - can cause radiation poisoning
- used in radiation for cancer - kills body cells

Telescopes
• Refracting – convex lens (curved outward () ) light is bend by the lens and a focal point is produced.
• - The eyepiece magnifies the image.– Two lenses used to bend
the light

Refraction - is the bending of light as it passes from one medium to another with different densities.
• Refraction of a pencil in water.
• Light waves are bent as the pencil enters the water.

• Each transparent substance bends the light at different angles.

• Reflecting – uses lens that is concave ) like a bowl. - light bounces
to a mirror that focuses image.
- mirror reflects image to eyepiece where it is magnified.
2 mirrors and concave lens

• In reflection, a light ray strikes a smooth surface and bounces off.
• A reflected ray always comes off the surface of a material at an angle equal to the angle at which the incoming ray hit the surface.

• Wavelength of color is reflected from the surface to the eye.

Hubble Space Telescope
• Launched 1990• Located outside of
earth’s atmosphere• Atmosphere distorts
images• Produces clearer images

Radio telescopes
• Collects radio waves from space
• Useful in any weather 24 hours a day
• Dish collects waves and focuses them on a receiver
• Receiver transforms the waves into electrical impulses or computer impulses
