Infrared radiation Radiowaves

- Isn't there range of the EM spectrum Longest wavelength EM waves


between microwaves and visible light.
Lowest energy EM radiation
Aya has frequencies from about 30 THz
up to about 400THz and wavelengths of Uses:
about 100 um (0.004 inches) To 740
nanometers (nm), or 0.00003 inches. IR - TV broadcasting
light is invisible to human eyes, but we - AM and FM broadcast radio
can feel it as heat if the intensity is - Heart rate monitors
sufficient. - Cell phone communication
- MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)

Wavelengths in between microwaves and


visible light Electromagnetic waves

Uses: Produced by the movement of


electrically charged particles
- Night vision goggles Can travel in a vacuum (they don’t need
- Remote controls a medium)
- Heat-seeking missiles

Calculating frequency and energy


Microwaves
Energy =h(v)
Microwaves fall in the range of the EM
spectrum between radio and IR. They Equation: speed of all electromagnetic
have frequencies from 3G Hz. Up to spectrum waves () = 3.0 x 10^2
about 30 trillion Hertz, or 30 terahertz [basta naa nasa noebook nimo bhahahaaa]
(THz), And wavelengths for about 10
mm(0.4 inches). Microwaves are used
for high bandwidth communications,
radar as a heat source for microwave
ovens and industrial Applications

Wavelengths from 1mm – 1m

Uses:

- Microwave ovens
- Bluetooth headsets
- Broadband wireless interned
- Radar
