REGIONS OF

ELECTROMAGNETIC
WAVES
QUARTER 2: MODULE 2
What Can you see?
INFRARED
Lies beyond the red
end of the visible
light
It is emitted by all
objects
The amount and
wavelength of
radiation depend on
Our bodies radiate infrared and under
infrared camera or a night vision goggle,
our images appear in variety of colors.
The differences in color determine the
differences in temperature. For example,
shades of blue and green indicate regions
of colder temperature; and red and
yellow indicate warmer temperature.
Useful applications of IR radiation
1. Infrared photographs taken from a satellite
with special films provide useful details of the
vegetation on the Earth’s surface.
2. Infrared scanners are used to show the
temperature variation of the body. This can be
used for medical diagnosis.
3. Infrared remote controls are used in TVs,
video, cassette recorders, and other electronic
appliances.
4. Some night-vision goggles use IR.
5. Some autofocus cameras have
transmitter that sends out infrared pulses.
The pulses are reflected by the object to be
photographed back to the camera. The
distance of the object is calculated by the
time lag between the sending and
receiving of pulses. The lens is then driven
by a built-in motor to adjust to get the
correct focus of the object.
THE VISIBLE
SPECTRUM
•WHEN WHITE LIGHT
PASSES THROUGH A
PRISM, IT IS
SEPARATED INTO ITS
CONSTITUENT COLORS:
THE RED, ORANGE,
YELLOW, GREEN, BLUE,
INDIGO AND VIOLET.
THE WAVELENGTH OF THE DIFFERENT
COLORS OF LIGHT
Ultraviolet
Radiation
lies just beyond the violet end of the visible
spectrum
have shorter wavelengths than the visible
light and carry more energy
Some Uses of UV
Radiation
Ultraviolet radiation in UV lamps are used by banks
to check the signature on a passbook.
These lamps are also used to identify fake
banknotes.
used in sterilizing water from drinking fountains
Ultraviolet radiation in sunlight produces vitamin D
in the skin and gives us tanning effect
Some washing powder also contains fluorescent
chemicals which glow in sunlight. This makes your
shirt look whiter than white in daylight
X-rays

come just after the ultraviolet rays.


They are of shorter wavelength but carries
higher energy than the UV.
They are emitted when fast moving
electrons hit a metal target.
Discovered by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen in
1895.
Gamma Rays
lie at the other end of the electromagnetic
spectrum
They are shortest in wavelength and highest in
frequency.
They carry the highest amount of energy, thus,
they are more dangerous.
They are emitted by stars and some radioactive
substances.
They can only be blocked with lead and thick
concrete.
Some Uses of Gamma
Rays
used to treat cancer through the process
called radiotherapy.
used for sterilization of drinking water.
A. Fact of Bluff. Write Fact if the statement is true.
If the answer is bluff, change the word that
makes it false.
1. Our eyes are sensitive to electromagnetic
waves of wavelengths that ranges from 4x10-7 m
to 7x10-7 m.
2. Ultraviolet radiation is also used in sterilizing
water from drinking fountains.
3. Ultraviolet radiation in sunlight produces
vitamin D in the skin.
4. In the visible light spectrum red color has the
longest wavelength from among these colors and
6. Gamma rays lie at the beginning of the
electromagnetic spectrum.
7. All X-rays are dangerous because they
can damage dead cells of the body.
8. Gamma are shortest in wavelength and
highest in color.
9. Too much exposure to X-rays can
damage body tissues and can cause
cancer.
10. Short wavelength X-rays can
penetrate even through metals.
