Introductory Message
For the facilitator:
This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators both
from public and private institutions to assist you, the teacher or facilitator in helping
the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum while overcoming
their personal, social, and economic constraints in schooling.
This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help
learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking into consideration their
needs and circumstances.
In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of
the module:
As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module.
You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to manage
their own learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage and assist the
learners as they do the tasks included in the module.
The hand is one of the most symbolized part of the human body. It is often used to
depict skill, action and purpose. Through our hands we may learn, create and
accomplish. Hence, the hand in this learning resource signifies that you as a learner
is capable and empowered to successfully achieve the relevant competencies and
skills at your own pace and time. Your academic success lies in your own hands!
This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful opportunities for

electromagnetic waves that will be used in this module. Complete these sentences
using words from the given box below. You can use each word once, more than once

But when waves travel through space, no energy is lost. Therefore, electromagnetic
waves don’t get weaker as they travel.
Directions: Based from your readings fill up the table. Write your answer on a
separate sheet of paper.
Electromagnetic Wave
What is It
All electromagnetic waves can travel through a medium but
unlike other types of waves, they can also travel in vacuum. They travel in vacuum
at a speed of 3X108 m/s and denoted as c, the speed of light.
The wave speed, frequency, and wavelength are related by the following
equation: v=λf
Where:
expressed in meters.
Since all the EM waves have the same speed and that is equal to the speed of
light, as wavelength decreases, the frequency of the wave increases. Through the
years, the advancement on the knowledge about electromagnetic waves led us to a
modern technological world.
Example Problems:

20 m
= 1.5 X107 Hz
2. What is the wavelength of light waves with frequency of 6 X1014
Hz? Given: v= c = 3 X 108 m/s f= 6 X1014 Hz
λ= ?
v=c=λf λ
=c/ f = 3 X 108 m/s
6 X1014 Hz
= 5 X 10 m?

Visible Light
Visible light waves are the only electromagnetic waves we can see. We see these
waves as the colors of the rainbow. Each color has a different wavelength.
Red has the longest wavelength and violet has the shortest wavelength. When all the
waves are seen together, they make white light.
Figure 3 below, shows this part of the spectrum, together with the colors
associated with particular wavelengths. We usually refer to visible light as having
wavelengths of between 400 nm and 750 nm.
