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.

LU_Q2_Science 10_Module 2-3


Extremely High 30 – 300 GHz 1mm – 1 cm
Frequency (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 .

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

A terrestrial communication system, facilitating audio, video, data, and


any other type of communication within a local geographical area, and with an
extremely large number of communication channels being made available
simultaneously at a very low cost.
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.

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.

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 500C, an object emits only infrared radiation. Above 500C, 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:

LU_Q2_Science 10_Module 2-3


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.

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.

LU_Q2_Science 10_Module 2-3


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.

LU_Q2_Science 10_Module 2-3


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.
