1. Radio Waves

Radio waves have the longest wavelength in the electromagnetic

spectrum. They are produced by making electrons vibrate in an antenna.
They are used to transmit sound and picture information over long
distances.

Radio waves have a very wide range of wavelengths. The whole region
of the radio waves is divided into smaller regions or wavebands. Each
waveband is allocated by law to a specific radio service. The wavelengths
and frequencies of the different wavebands and their uses are shown in
Table 1.

(SHF) Satellite Communication
Extremely High 30 – 300 1mm – 1 cm

(EHF)

Low frequency waves are suitable for communication over great

distances. But the curvature of the earth limits the range to about 80
kilometers. To extend the range, a repeater is used. The repeater receives
the signal and re-transmits it to the receiving station.

High frequency waves can be reflected by the ionosphere. This

enables the waves to be transmitted over great distances.
 Medium and high frequency waves are used for broadcasting by local radio
stations. In a radio station, sound is converted by a microphone into
patterns of electric current variations called audio-frequency (AF) signals.
High frequency radio waves called radio-frequency (RF) carriers can be
modulated to match the electronic signal. In amplitude modulation, the
amplitude of the radio waves (RF carrier) changes to match that of the
audio-frequency signal. This is used in standard broadcasting because it
can be sent over long distances. Very high frequency waves provide a higher
quality broadcasting including stereo sound. In this process, instead of the
amplitude of the RF carrier, it is the frequency of the waves that changes to
match that of the signal. This is called frequency modulation.

2. Microwaves

Microwaves have smaller wavelengths than radio waves. They are

used in satellite communications, radar, television transmission and
cooking.

Applications of Microwaves Satellite Communications

Microwaves can penetrate the atmosphere of the earth. This is the
reason why they are used for satellite communications. Communication
satellites travel around the earth at an altitude of 35, 000 km above the
equator. They move at a speed of 11 300 km/h and revolve around the earth
every 24 hours, the same rate as the rotation of the earth. This makes them
appear to be stationary when seen on Earth. Antennae are mounted to point
in fixed directions towards these satellites. Microwaves signals are
transmitted by an antenna to a satellite which amplifies and re-transmits
the signal to an antenna in other parts of the world. This is how we
communicate with the rest of the world.

Figure 2. An orbiting satellite

Radar

http://phys.org/news/2013-03-nasa-kaboom-experimental-asteroid-radar.html

Figure 3. A radar

Microwaves have short wavelengths and are reflected by small objects.

This property is used in radars. Radar is the acronym of radio detection and
ranging. A radar system is consists of an antenna, transmitter, and a
receiver. The antenna whirls around continuously to scan the surrounding
area. The transmitter sends out a narrow beam of microwaves in short
pulses. A distant object reflects some of the signal back to the receiver. The
direction to which the signal was received gives the direction of the object.
The distance of the object can be calculated from the time lag between the
transmitted pulse and the reflected pulse.

Terrestrial Communication

Microwaves are used to transmit television news coverage from mobile

broadcast vehicles back to the station. The news crew can also set up a
small antenna to send signals to a communication satellite. This is how
news are broadcasted and watched live around the world.

Figure 4. A Television set

 A cell phone is a radio transmitter and receiver that uses microwaves.
Cellular phones depend on overlapping network of cells or areas of land
several kilometers in diameter. Each cell has its tower that receives and
sends microwave signals. The figure below will give you further
understanding on the process.

Figure 5. Transmission and reception of signals by a cellular phone

Microwave oven

In a microwave oven, foods absorb certain microwave frequencies very

strongly. The microwaves penetrate the food being heated. It will agitate the water
molecules within the food, thus creating molecular friction which then produces
heat that will cook it.

Figure 6. A microwave oven

3. Infrared

Infrared radiation lies beyond the red end of the visible light. It is
emitted by all objects. The amount and wavelength of radiation depend on
temperature. Below 500oC, an object emits only infrared radiation. Above
500oC, an object glows and emits both infrared and some visible light.

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.

Figure 7. Infrared image of a dog

 In Figure 7, the dog is covered with thick coat of fur that prevents the
heat generated by the dog’s body from escaping. Notice that the dog’s nose
is cold while the eyes and mouth areas are warm.

The following are some 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.

Visible Light and UV
2 Radiation

Jumpstart

There are two ways that light could enter your eye. First, there could
be a light source (like a light bulb) that create light. This light then travels
into your eye and BOOM - your brain interprets this signal as light. The
other way (more common) is to see things by reflected light. Suppose you
are looking at a pencil. The light (from somewhere) reflects off the pencil
and then into your eye.
But what happens if there is no light that enters your eye? What if
you are in a place with absolutely no source of light? In that case, you
perceive the color black. Have you ever been somewhere with absolutely no
light? If you are in a room that that is completely dark, what would you
see? What happens after you wait a long, long time? One of the very
common answers is that you will see everything as black - at first. These
humans will also say that after some time your eyes will adjust and then
you WILL see something. The correct answer is that you will just see black
- forever. If there is no light entering your eye then you just see black.
Ultraviolet rays are invisible to most humans. The lens of the human
eye blocks most radiation in the wavelength range of 300–400 nm; shorter
wavelengths are blocked by the cornea. "Ultraviolet" means "beyond violet"
(from Latin ultra, "beyond"), violet being the color of the highest frequencies
of visible light. Ultraviolet has a higher frequency (thus a shorter
wavelength) than violet light
 Discover

1. 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.
These colors do not distinctly separate but they continuously change from
red to violet. Red color has the longest wavelength from among these colors
and violet has the shortest.

https://spaceplace.nasa.gov/review/magic-windows/chandra_prism.jpg

Figure 8. The Visible Spectrum

Our eyes are sensitive to electromagnetic waves of wavelengths that

ranges from 4x10-7 m to 7x10-7 m. This is the range of wavelengths of white
light. Thus, the spectrum of white light is therefore called the visible
spectrum. Table 3 shows the wavelengths of the different colors that
constitute the white light.

Table 3. The Wavelength of the Different Colors of Light

Color Wavelength (nm)

Violet - Indigo 390 to 455
Blue 455 to 492
Green 492 to 577
Yellow 577 to 597
Orange 597 to 622
Red 622 to 700
Ultraviolet Radiation

Ultraviolet radiation lies just beyond the violet end of the visible
spectrum. Ultraviolet waves have shorter wavelengths than the visible light
and carry more energy.

Some Uses of UV Radiation

The sun is our main source of ultraviolet radiation but there are also
artificial sources of UV light. Ultraviolet radiation in UV lamps are used by
banks to check the signature on a passbook. The signature is marked on
the passbook with fluorescent ink. It becomes visible when viewed under an
ultraviolet lamp. These lamps are also used to identify fake banknotes.

Ultraviolet radiation is also used in sterilizing water from drinking

fountains. Some washing powder also contains fluorescent chemicals which
glow in sunlight. This makes your shirt look whiter than white in daylight.

Ultraviolet radiation in sunlight produces vitamin D in the skin and

gives us tanning effect. But since UV rays have high energy, it could be
harmful to some extent. It could burn the skin and hurt our eyes.
Overexposure to UV radiation may cause skin cancer. Suntan or sunscreen
lotions serve as filters to protect the body from ultraviolet radiation.

Figure 9: Electromagnetic Spectrum

X-rays
X-rays come just after the ultraviolet rays. They are of shorter
wavelength but carries higher energy than the UV.

X-rays are produced using an X-ray tube. They are emitted when fast
moving electrons hit a metal target. X-rays were discovered by Wilhelm
Conrad Roentgen in 1895.

Long wavelength X-rays can penetrate the flesh but not the bones.
They are used in X-ray photography to help doctors look inside the body.
They are useful in diagnosing bone fractures and tumors.

Figure 10. An X-ray film

Short wavelength X-rays can penetrate even through metals. They are
used in industry to inspect welded joints for faults.

All X-rays are dangerous because they can damage healthy living cells
of the body. This is the reason why frequent exposure to X-rays should be
avoided. Too much exposure to X-rays can damage body tissues and can
cause cancer

Gamma Rays

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. Gamma rays are
emitted by stars and some radioactive substances. They can only be
blocked with lead and thick concrete.

Gamma rays are very strong that they can kill living cells. Gamma
rays are used to treat cancer through the process called radiotherapy. They
are also used for sterilization of drinking water.
