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 Lab 11 Go to http://phet.colorado.edu/simulations/sims.php?sim=Blackbody_Spectrum and click on Run Now. 1) In this lab‚ you will use the Blackbody Spectrum Simulation to investigate how the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation emitted by objects is affected by the object’s temperature. In this simulation‚ you can input the temperature and observe the spectrum of the radiation emitted. a) The temperature of stars in the universe varies with the type of star and the age

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

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

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

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

The electromagnetic spectrum is made up of six different types of waves. Radio waves‚ Microwaves‚ Infrared waves‚ Visible light‚ Ultraviolet light‚ X-rays and Gamma rays. The radio waves are used to transmit radio and television signals. The infrared waves are used to tell temperature of areas. Visible light is all the colors that we can see. Ultraviolet light can help things grow but to much can cause diseases such as skin cancer. X-rays are used as a tool to find broken bones or take pitchers
