  1. SC300 Big Ideas in Science Bronwyn Scott BScott@kaplan.edu AIM: BScottKaplan@aol.com Unit 3: Electromagnetic Waves

  2. Welcome to Seminar Three Doing research on Greyland Beach near Westport, Washington(2004) • Please turn your speakers on. This seminar contains audio. • While we are waiting to get started this evening, please take this opportunity to chat. • If you encounter any technical issues accessing a KHE Seminar, please call KU ACE Help 1-866-522-7747, option 2, then option 1. You may also email KU ACE Help at helpdesk@kucourses.com.

  3. Agenda • Discussion Boards • Electromagnetic (EM) Spectrum: • microwaves • infrared waves • visible light waves • Unit 4 Discussion Groups • Q & A

  4. Discussion Boards (35 points) • References transform random opinions into supported points of view. • ≥2 substantial replies that further the discussion No:“I really liked your post…” “I agree…” Yes:“I really liked your post and I did some further research and found this additional information…” “I agree and was able to find this website, but how does that compare …”

  5. Electromagnetic (EM) Spectrum

  6. Cosmic microwave background radiation Microwaves are everywhere! These are discussed in Chapter 15 on page 317 Image credit: http://www.barnabu.co.uk/cosmic-microwave-background-radiation-in-google-earth/

  8. What do you think… • Your Grandma Pauline has just won a microwave oven in a radio contest. • When it arrives at her house, it sits on her counter for a month, unused • One afternoon, she tells you that she is afraid to use it because ,"If I stand too close, I'll get radiated!” Explain to your Grandma the difference between the waves that are used in a microwave oven and the dangerous nuclear radiation she fears.

  13. What do you think… • If you took a similar infrared photo of your body, what parts would you expect to show up as brightest orange? What parts would be blue? Explain.

  16. What do you think… • After Grandma Pauline starts thinking about electromagnetic waves, she asks you to explain: • If radio waves and microwaves are both electromagnetic waves, why she can’t listen to KROQ-FM on her new microwave oven?

  17. Visible Light Waves
