    Chapter 16 - Electronics and Information and Communication Technology (Ict)

    Uploaded by

    Cikgu Shaiful Kisas
    This document discusses waves and the electromagnetic spectrum. It explains that there are two types of waves: mechanical waves which require a medium and can't travel through a vacuum, and electromagnetic waves which include radio waves, visible light, X-rays and more. These differ in wavelength and frequency. The electromagnetic spectrum is described, ranging from long radio waves to very short gamma rays. Various types of electromagnetic waves are outlined, along with properties like speed and how they are used in applications like radio, infrared photography, and cancer treatment. Radio waves and their role in carrying signals for radio, TV and phones is highlighted.

    WAVES

    MECHANICAL WAVES
    . generated vibrations or
    oscillations of particles or object.
    example: sound waves

    travel through solid ( wall ), through
    liquid ( water ), through gases
    (atmosphere ).
    cannot through a vacumm ( outer

    Electromagnetic Waves

    About Electromagnetic Waves

    When you listen to the radio, watch TV, or cook dinner


    in a microwave oven, you are using electromagnetic
    waves.
    Radio waves, television waves, and microwaves are
    all types of electromagnetic waves. They differ from
    each other in wavelength. Wavelength is the distance
    between one wave crest to the next.

    Properties of Electromagnetic
    Waves
    Electromagnetic Wave- A transverse
    wave consisting of oscillating electric
    and magnetic fields at right angles to
    each other
    The spectrum includes more than visible
    light- not all light is visible to the human
    eye
    Light is a wave and also a particle

    The Electromagnetic Spectrum

    Electromagnetic waves vary depending on


    frequency and wavelength

    Properties of the Electromagnetic Spectrum

    Waves

    in the electromagnetic
    spectrum vary in size from very
    long radio waves the size of
    buildings, to very short
    gamma-rays smaller than the
    size of the nucleus of an atom.

    Properties of the Electromagnetic Spectrum

    FREQUENCY is the
    number of waves generated
    per unit time.
    OR

    WAVE VELOCITY
    distance travel by a wave
    per unit time , metres per
    second (ms-1), v

    number of crest or
    troughs passing through a
    particular point in one
    second.

    Unit for frequency,


    hertz (Hz), f

    Different types of waves

    Radio Waves- longest wavelength. AM/FM, TV


    Microwaves- 2nd longest wavelength. Radar,
    Microwaves
    Infrared Waves- 3rd longest wavelength. Infrared
    photography, night vision
    Visible Light- 4th longest wavelength. Microscope,
    astronomy
    Ultraviolet Light- 5th longest wavelength. Sterilization
    X Rays- 6th longest wavelength. Medical exam of teeth
    and bones
    Gamma Rays- Shortest wavelength. Used in cancer
    treatment and food irradiation

    Radio Waves

    Radio waves have the longest


    wavelengths in the electromagnetic
    spectrum. These waves can be longer
    than a football field or as short as a
    football. Radio waves do more than
    just bring music to your radio. They
    also carry signals for your television
    and cellular phones.

    Radio Waves

    Objects in space, such as planets and


    comets, giant clouds of gas and dust,
    and stars and galaxies, emit light at
    many different wavelengths. Some of
    the light they emit has very large
    wavelengths - sometimes as long as a
    mile! These long waves are in the
    radio region of the electromagnetic
    spectrum.

    Speed of Electromagnetic Waves

    All electromagnetic waves move at the speed


    of light
    Remember
    Speed= wavelength x frequency
    Only the wavelength and frequency change
    This change decides which type of
    electromagnetic wave it is (radio, gamma, etc.)

    Speed of Light
    The speed of light in a vacuum=
    2.99792458 x 108 m/s
    The speed of light in air= 2.99709 x 108
    m/s
    We use 3 x 108 m/s which equates to
    300 million meters per second!
