PPT-Waves and the Electromagnetic Spectrum

8 th Grade Physical Science Question What type of wave is a sound wave Waves 31015 Wave a repeating movement or disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space All waves carry energy without transporting matter from place to place . Section . 1- What . are electromagnetic waves?. WHAT DO CORDLESS PHONES AND MICROWAVE OVENS HAVE IN COMMON?. Each emits electromagnetic waves.. Remember…. A . wave. . is a repeating disturbance or movement that transfers energy through matter or space.. Physics 4. Prepared by Vince Zaccone. For Campus Learning Assistance Services at UCSB. Maxwell’s Equations. Prepared by Vince Zaccone. For Campus Learning Assistance Services at UCSB. Maxwell’s equations summarize the relationships between electric and magnetic fields. A major consequence of these equations is that an accelerating charge will produce electromagnetic radiation.. The stars and other objects in space are very far from Earth. Only a few solar system objects are close enough to be explored with probes. . Astronomers rely on electromagnetic waves to gain information about the universe.. Lesson 9. Parts of a Wave. (1 second). Which wave has the most energy?. How do you know? (evidence). Step. 4. Step. 5. What is the relationship between energy and wavelength?. Red = 780 nm. Wavelengths of Color. Light:. Temperature, Scattering & Absorption. Essential Standards. 6.P.. 3 Understand . characteristics . of energy . transfer and interactions of matter and energy.. Clarifying Objectives. 6.P .. 1. The Electromagnetic Spectrum. Wavelength/frequency/energy. MAP TAP 2003-2004. The Electromagnetic Spectrum. 2. Teacher Page. Content: Physical Science—The Electromagnetic Spectrum. Grade Level: High School. Review of the Quasi-static Approximation. Electric and Magnetic Components of Waves. The Wave Equation (in 1-D). Uniform Plane Waves. Phase Velocity and Intrinsic Impedance. Wave-vector and Wave-frequency. What is light?. Light is a wave: . Explains much of the everyday behavior of light. Light is a particle: . Explains why heated objects emit only certain frequencies of light at a given temperature. Light as Waves. Not all waves are the same. (Please draw the picture and write your answers in complete sentences.). 1. How are the waves different from each other?. 2. . Which wave has the highest frequency? Which wave has the lowest? How do you know?. Gravitational Wave Bonus). The next slides show images of the SAME region of sky, but using different types of light. The view in VISIBLE LIGHT. INFRARED. RADIO WAVES. RADIO WAVES. GAMMA RAYS. Different types of light give us different information!. . What do X­rays, light, microwaves, radio waves, and infrared have in common? . . EM Radiation. Radiation can be described as the movement of energy through space. . There are many different sources of radiation that vary by intensity. . Mechanical Waves. A mechanical wave is created when a source of energy causes a vibration to travel through a medium.. A mechanical wave is a disturbance in matter that carries energy from one place to another.. Presented By. Dr. . Banashree. . Saikia. Assistant Professor. Department of Geography. JN . College, . Boko. Electro Magnetic Radiation . is one of the important component Remote Sensing . Technique.. The Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell (1831–1879) was the first person to truly understand the fundamental nature of light. . He proved in 1865 that an electromagnetic disturbance should propagate in free space with a speed equal to that of light..
