PPT-Light and the Electromagnetic Spectrum

Almost all of our information on the heavens is derived from the light we see We have returned samples from the Moon and a comet Also obtained meteor samples We have landed with unmanned probes on only a handful of planets and moons. 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.. 8. th. Grade Physical Science . Question: . What type of wave is a sound wave? . Waves. 3/10/15. Wave. —a repeating movement or disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space. . All waves carry energy without transporting matter from place to place. . Mrs. Molloy. 6. th. Grade Science. Electromagnetic Waves…. Do not need matter to transfer energy.. Made by vibrating electric charges.. Travel by transferring energy between electric and magnetic fields.. Electromagnetic Radiation. Electromagnetic waves perpendicular waves combing the electric and magnetic fields. . Electromagnetic waves are produced when an electric charge vibrates or accelerates and can travel through empty space or through matter. . 1. The Electromagnetic Spectrum.
