    Electromagnetic Spectrum Worksheet

    Uploaded by

    Lucas Kazem
    The document is a science worksheet about the electromagnetic spectrum. It contains vocabulary terms and questions to test understanding of different types of electromagnetic radiation, including their properties and common uses. Key points covered are that the electromagnetic spectrum represents different forms of electromagnetic radiation, light is classified as such because electrical and magnetic fields vibrate, and microwaves and radio waves have relatively long wavelengths and low frequencies.

    NAME:

    Vocabulary
    Electromagnetic radiation Gamma rays Radiant energy Visible light
    Electromagnetic spectrum Infrared waves Radio waves Wavelength
    Frequency Microwaves Ultraviolet rays X rays

    Use your notes or textbook and the terms in the vocabulary box to fill in the blanks for the
    following nine questions. You will not need to use every term.

    1) The represents the different forms of


    electromagnetic radiation.

    2) Light is classified as because electrical and


    magnetic fields vibrate in a light wave.

    3) is energy that travels by radiation. An


    example of this is light.

    4) Heat radiation, also known as , cannot be seen by


    your eyes but can be felt by your skin.

    5) Microwaves are one type of .

    6) can be used to communicate with satellites.

    7) Because have the highest energy of all


    electromagnetic radiation, they are the most damaging to human tissue.

    8) Compared to all other types of electromagnetic radiation, radio waves have the lowest
    .

    9) An overexposure to can result in sunburns and


    skin cancer.

    10) Why does an empty paper plate not heat up in the microwave?

    11) Why should you use sunscreen and a hat when you are out in the Sun?
    12) Match the kind of Electromagnetic Radiation (on the left) likely to be used in each of the following
    technologies (on the right). Each Technology may be used only once

    Electromagnetic Radiation Technology

    X rays A. TV broadcast signals

    Microwaves B. In a hospital to keep surgical equipment sterile

    Gamma rays C. Examining the inside of a weld in a steel oil pipe

    Radio waves D. Lamp used to warm a baby chick

    Infrared waves E. Measuring the speed of a passing car

    Used by an oncologist (a physician who studies and treats


    Ultraviolet waves F.
    cancer)

    Radar G. Cell phone

    Read the statements given below. If the statement is true, write “T” on the line in front of the statement.
    If it is false, write “F” and rewrite the statement to make it true.

    13) Radiant energy spreads out from its source in all directions.

    14) Electromagnetic radiation includes only visible light waves.

    15) Microwaves are a type of infrared wave.

    16) X rays have more energy than gamma rays.

    17) Radio waves, microwaves and ultraviolet waves all have longer wavelengths than visible light.

    18) Both X rays and gamma rays have higher frequencies than ultraviolet rays.

    19) The Sun radiates both visible energy and invisible energy.

    20) Communicating with satellites is an application of gamma rays.
