Name:Erin N Stanfield Date: April 19, 2020 Block: Integrated Science NASA’s Tour of the Electromagnetic Spectrum Video Guide Use the following website to answer the questions below: https://www.... youtube.com/watch?v=HPcAWNlVl-8&t=597s. Introduction 0:00-1:05 1. What are the waves in order from smallest to biggest? Gamma Rays, X-Rays, Ultraviolet Rays, Visible Light Waves, Infrared Waves, Microwaves, and Radio Waves 1:05-2:18 1. Electromagnetic waves, or EM waves, are similar to ocean waves in that both transmit energy. EM waves are produced by the vibration of charges particles and have electrical and magnetic properties. 2. Unlike ocean waves that require water, EM waves travel through the vacuum of space at the constant speed of light. 3. What 2 wave characteristics do they have? They have crest and trough 4. Which wave has the lowest frequency? How much energy does it have? Radio Waves carry less energy 5. Which wave has the highest frequency? How much energy does it have? Gamma Waves are the shortest highest energy waves 2:19-5:04 6. What part of the electromagnetic spectrum can our eyes see? Visible light spectrum 7. Why do things appear to have color? Because EM ways interact with there molecules 8. Why does the leaf look green? Because EM waves interact with the chloroform molecules 9. To learn more about the world around us, scientists and engineers have devised ways to enable us to see beyond that sliver of the electromagnetic [Show More]
