    3‚ 2012 James Clerk Maxwell discovered the electromagnetic spectrum in 1862. The electromagnetic spectrum is a map of all the types of light that can be identified. It classifies different types of light by wavelength to show how much energy the wave has. The more energy the wave has the shorter the wavelength and the less energy a waves has the longer the wavelength. Not all light is in the visible spectrum. There are many kinds of electromagnetic waves that you can’t see. When you turn on your

    wavelength — the distance between the crests of the waves — or its frequency — the number of crests that pass by in a given amount of time.The higher the energy of the radiation‚ the shorter its wavelength and the higher its frequency will be. Blue light‚ for example‚ has a higher energy and therefore a higher frequency and shorter wavelength than red light Flame tests are used to identify the presence of a relatively small number of metal ions in a compound. Not all metal ions give flame colours

    What is electromagnetic radiation? Electromagnetic energy is a term used to describe all the different kinds of energies released into space by stars such as the Sun. These kinds of energies include some that you will recognize and some that will sound strange. They include: * Radio Waves * TV waves * Radar waves * Heat (infrared radiation) * Light * Ultraviolet Light (This is what causes Sunburns) * X-rays (Just like the kind you get at the doctor’s office) * Short waves

    Blackbody radiation is the electro-magnetic radiation emerging from a small hole in a perfectly black box containing electromagnetic radiation at a high temperature. Scientists were interested in setting standards for the electric and thus measured the distribution of the total electromagnetic energy in a black box among the different wavelengths of the light. But not until Max Planck‚ at the turn of the century‚ was a single mathematical formula for the observed distribution of the energy among

    Comparing Wavelengths In The Electromagnetic Spectrum Gamma rays have the smallest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum‚ there is only 0.03 nano meters between the peak of each wave as is shown in this diagram. There is a universal speed that electromagnetic waves travel at which is 300m/s and this means that the wave frequency depends on the wavelength. The wave frequency for gamma rays is 300/0.03=10000hz. Gamma rays are produced by violent events in the universe such as supernovas and

    Murakami 10D SHOULD WE USE ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES FOR MEDICAL PURPOSES? In terms of definition‚ Electromagnetic Wave is a “non-particulate radiation (radiation consisting of waves of energy associated with electric and magnetic fields resulting from the acceleration of an electric charge)”. Thus‚ in simpler words‚ electromagnetic is a transmission of energy‚ caused by the oscillation and of electric and magnetic fields. The word electromagnetic wave or electromagnetic radiation may sound complex. However

    The Figure 6-18 in my text book was an example of an electromagnetic spectrum‚ which is all wavelengths of light both seen and unseen (Trefil & Hazen‚ 2010). The display of the electromagnetic spectrum showed gamma rays‚ X-rays‚ ultraviolet light‚ infrared‚ visible light‚ microwave‚ radio waves‚ as well as a visible spectrum wavelength (Trefil & Hazen‚ 2010). The diagram shows at what frequency and wavelength each wave moves and what it allows us to see‚ hear‚ and feel with visible light

    Electromagnetic Waves It was once the great Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879) who had presented that electric and magnetic fields unstable together can form a spreading wave‚ appropriately called an electromagnetic wave. The properties of an electromagnetic wave are as follows: 1. They can travel through a vacuum at the same high speed‚ which is much faster than other types of waves that travel through a material. 2. They show the normal wave properties of reflection‚ refraction
