Waves… a review • Waves are either longitudinal or transverse. • Sound waves are longitudinal. • Electromagnetic waves are transverse…
? ?
Electromagnetic waves • Produced by the movement of electrically charged particles • Can travel in a “vacuum” (they do NOT need a medium • Travel at the speed of light • Also known as EM waves • Click!http://amazing-space.stsci.edu/resources/explorations/light/
Waves interact with materials Waves can be reflected, transmitted, or absorbed Created by KBuckner for Fried or Slide PBL 2010
TRANSMISSION • Transmission is the passage of a wave through a medium • If light reflected by objects did not pass through air, windows, or most of the eye, we would not be able to see objects Created by KBuckner for Fried or Slide PBL 2010
Absorption • Absorption is the disappearance of an wave into the medium • Absorption affects the way things look Created by KBuckner for Fried or Slide PBL 2010
How materials transmit light • Transparent materials allow most of the light that strikes them to pass through • It is possible to see objects through a transparent material • Air, water, clear glass Created by KBuckner for Fried or Slide PBL 2010
CAN YOU NAME SOME TRANSPARENT OBJECTS? Created by KBuckner for Fried or Slide PBL 2010
Translucent • Translucent materials transmit some light but cause it to spread in all directions • You can see light through these materials but no clearly • Lampshades, frosted glass, sheer fabrics, notebook paper Created by KBuckner for Fried or Slide PBL 2010
CAN YOU NAME SOME TRANSLUCENT OBJECTS? Created by KBuckner for Fried or Slide PBL 2010
OPAQUE • Opaque materials do not allow any light to pass through them • Heavy fabrics, construction paper, ceramic mugs Created by KBuckner for Fried or Slide PBL 2010
CAN YOU NAME SOME OPAQUE OBJECTS? Created by KBuckner for Fried or Slide PBL 2010
LET’S REVIEW • TRANSPARENT • TRANSLUCENT • OPAQUE Created by KBuckner for Fried or Slide PBL 2010

Radio waves • Longest wavelength EM waves • Uses: • TV broadcasting • AM and FM broadcast radio • Avalanche beacons • Heart rate monitors • Cell phone communication
Microwaves • Wavelengths from 1 mm- 1 m • Uses: • Microwave ovens • Bluetooth headsets • Broadband Wireless Internet • Radar • GPS
Infrared Radiation • Wavelengths in between microwaves and visible light • Uses: • Night vision goggles • Remote controls • Heat-seeking missiles
Visible light • Only type of EM wave able to be detected by the human eye • Violet is the highest frequency light • Red light is the lowest frequency light
Ultraviolet • Shorter wavelengths than visible light • Uses: • Black lights • Sterilizing medical equipment • Water disinfection • Security images on money
X-rays • Tiny wavelength, high energy waves • Uses: • Medical imaging • Airport security • Inspecting industrial welds
X-rays continued • Are able to pass through our skin • Absorbed by our bones
Gamma Rays • Smallest wavelengths, highest energy EM waves • Uses • Food irradiation • Cancer treatment • Treating wood flooring
