Introduction
0:00-1:05
1. What are the waves in order from smallest to biggest?
Gamma Rays, X-Rays, Ultraviolet Rays, Visible Light
Waves, Infrared Waves, Microwaves, and Radio Waves
1:05-2:18
1. Electromagnetic waves, or EM waves, are similar to ocean
waves in that both
transmit energy. EM waves are produced by the vibration of
charges particles
and have electrical and magnetic properties.
2. Unlike ocean waves that require water, EM waves travel
through the vacuum of space at the constant speed of light.
3. What 2 wave characteristics do they have? They have crest
and trough
4. Which wave has the lowest frequency? How much energy does
it have? Radio Waves carry less energy
5. Which wave has the highest frequency? How much energy does
it have? Gamma Waves are the shortest highest energy
waves
2:19-5:04
6. What part of the electromagnetic spectrum can our eyes see?
Visible light spectrum
7. Why do things appear to have color? Because EM ways
interact with there molecules
8. Why does the leaf look green? Because EM waves interact
with the chloroform molecules
9. To learn more about the world around us, scientists and
engineers have
devised ways to enable us to see beyond that sliver of the
electromagnetic
