Electromagnetic Spectrum
By: Iza
Radio Wave -lowest frequency
-uses: for communication and helps in
scientific explanation.
-In 1932, radio waves were discovered
in stars&space.
Micro Wave -helps in weather forecasting
-can be used in: gps, heating food, and
monitors speed
-is the backbone of communication.
Infrared Waves -has longer wavelength than visible
light
-uses: heat, can monitor vegetation.
-Increases planet’s temperature and
can cause danger.
Visible Light -identifies condition of stellar and
non-stellar components
-one source is the sun.
-identifies temperature of the earth.
Ultraviolet Waves -are lights beyond violet.
-monitors our ozone layer.
-main cause of ozone layer depletion.
X-rays -high energy waves.
-helps in identifying zinc and nickel.
-comes from the blackhole, plasma
and corona.
Gamma Rays -helps in destroying cancer growth.
-created by the most violent
compositions.
-provides scientists early warning of
upcoming substances to earth.
