Practical Applications and Effects of


Electromagnetic (EM) Waves
​ nd ​
(S10FE-IIc- d-48, 2nd
​ Quarter,2 ​ Week)

I. Introduction
Are you not wondering how you are able to communicate with your loved ones from far places? How were
you able to listen to music from your radio or speakers? Or how your ‘television remote control’ works?
Most of the things we use nowadays are applications of our knowledge about electromagnetic (EM) waves.
We may not see these EM waves, but we encounter their different forms in our daily life. You know more of
these waves than you may think.

After going through these worksheets, you are expected to cite examples of practical applications of the
different regions of EM waves, such as the use of radio waves in telecommunication and among others.

II. ​Activity 1. EM is Life

Can you still remember the different forms of electromagnetic waves you have learned from the previous
worksheets? While all these EM waves move through space at the same speed of about three hundred
(300) million meters per second, their wavelengths, frequencies, and energies differ. This is the reason why
they are arranged accordingly in a scheme called electromagnetic spectrum.

Let me remind you that wavelength has an inverse relation with frequency and energy. So, if wavelength
increases, what will happen to the frequency of the wave? If the wavelength of an EM wave decreases,
what will be the effect in its energy?

Let’s compare the relative wavelengths, frequencies, and energies of the different regions of the
electromagnetic spectrum.

Look at the picture below. Write the name of the correct electromagnetic wave corresponding to the letters
on the picture. You may refer your answer to the given pool of words.

9. ​What letter shows the shortest wavelength?-​G

10. ​What letter shows the EM wave with the highest energy?-​ G

III. Activity 2. Hide and Seek


Electromagnetic waves play an important role in our daily lives. We have lots of devices
or equipment that we use day in and day out where EM waves facilitate with it.
Look for the name of devices hidden in the puzzle below. The words may be placed
vertically, horizontally, diagonally, or even backwards. Write ten (10) terms you found in the
word box below. Using a dictionary, look for the definition or use of each term you have found.
​WORDS DEFINITION

1. ​MICROWAVE OVEN​-​an oven that uses microwaves to cook or heat food.


2. ​SATELLITE​-​an artificial body placed in orbit around the earth or moon or another planet in order
to collect information or for communication.
3. ​RADAR​-​a system for detecting the presence, direction, distance, and speed of aircraft, ships,
and other objects, by sending out pulses of high-frequency electromagnetic
waves that are reflected off the object back to the source.
4. ​CAMERA​-​a device for recording visual images in the form of photographs, film, or video signals.
5. ​PHONE​-​a telephone.
6.​ LIGHT​-​the natural agent that stimulates sight and makes things visible.
7. ​RADIO​-​the transmission and reception of electromagnetic waves of radio frequency, especially
those carrying sound messages
8.​ FLASHLIGHT​-​a battery-operated portable light.
9. ​TELEVISION​-​a system for transmitting visual images and sound that are reproduced on screens,
chiefly used to broadcast programs for entertainment, information, and
education.
10.​ XRAY​-​any of the electromagnetic radiations that have an extremely short wavelength of
less than 100 angstroms and have the properties of penetrating
various thicknesses of all solids, of producing secondary radiations
by impinging on material bodies, and of acting on photographic films
and plates as light does.
IV. Activity 3. Behind the White Light

Below will let you see the spectrum of a white light. This activity needs simple
materials that are readily available at your home.
To those under the Online modality, kindly document this activity through a video
clip and pass it through our Goggle classroom. (Criteria: 50 points - content of the video
clip; 50 points – presentation creativity)
In the Modular mode, just tell us a story through comic strips of what had happened
in this activity from the beginning up to the end including your best output. (Criteria: 50
points - content of the shared story through comic strips; 50 points – creative visuals)

What you need:


▪ ​water
▪ ​sunlight or flashlight
▪ ​shallow pan
▪ ​small mirror
▪ ​piece of paper or white surface

What to do:
1. ​Before doing this activity, read the guide questions below.
2. ​Fill the shallow pan with water of about half full.
3. ​Put the mirror into the water inside the pan at an angle.

Science 10 Week 2 of Qtr.2 (CGEAHS)


4. ​Position the pan so that sunlight/flashlight shines directly where the mirror is under
water. You may have to shift the mirror to find the right angle.
5. ​Hold the white paper above the mirror. It would be easier to see if the room is dark.
6. ​Adjust the angle of the mirror until you see a rainbow. Observe.

Guide Questions:

A. ​Prism is a triangular piece of glass that is used to separate white light. From the
activity above, which materials served as a prism?

-The materials served as a prism are the small mirror and the flash
light​B. ​Explain why white light splits up into different colors when it goes through a prism?

-​ ​When light passes through a prism the light bends. As a result, the
different colors that make up white light become separated. This
happens because each color has a particular wavelength and each
wavelength bends at a different angle.

C. ​Write down the color spectrum you observed in proper order from top to bottom.

-​Forthese reasons, visible light is dispersed upon passage through a


prism. Dispersion of visible light produces the colors red (R), orange
(O), yellow (Y), green (G), blue (B), and violet (V). It is because of this
that visible light is sometimes referred to as ROY G. BIV.

V. Activity 4. EM In

Choose the correct term from the enclosed choices that should go into the blank spaces.

1. Radio/television signals, GPS and MRI are practical applications of (​radio wave​/microwave).
2. Satellite communication, cooking, terrestrial communication, and RADAR make use of
(infrared/​microwave​).
3. Remote controls, thermal imaging and night vision goggles are practical applications of
(​infrared​/ultraviolet).

4. You can see things around you because of (gamma rays/​visible light​) which is also used in optical
fibers, artificial lights and screens of electronic devices.

5. Vitamin D is mostly produced in the skin in response to (​ultraviolet /microwave), which is also used
for security markings and sterilization of water in drinking fountains.

6. In diagnosing bone fractures, we use (gamma rays/​X-rays​).

7. (long wavelength X-ray)/​short wavelength X-ray​)) is a type of x-ray that can penetrate the
flesh.

8. (​long wavelength X-ray​)/short wavelength X-ray)) can penetrate through metals.


9. Treating tumors and cancer through the process called radiotherapy and sterilizing medical equipment
are practical applications of (​gamma rays​/ultraviolet).
10. The effect of electromagnetic waves on organisms and environment depends on how much
(wavelength,​ energy​) it carries.
