Science EM Wave Presentation
By: Hailey Heese
Key
Wave Lenght = WL
Energy = E
ROYGBIV = Red, Organge, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violit
Radio Wave
Characteristics: Lowest F, Longest WL, Lowest energy
Uses: TV remote and Walky Takys
Danger: There are no dangers
Affects Life:
Microwaves
Characteristics: Higher F than Radio, Shorter WL, Hgher energy
Uses: Cell phone and Sidelight
Danger: Airplanes
Affects lives: Because of microwaves we can heat up food and eat it hot. Some foods don't taste good cold so that is why we have microwaves.
Infrared
Characteristics: Higher than Micro and Associated w/ heat
Uses: Night vision goggles and Hair dryers
Dangers: Burns and can cause a heat stroke
Visible light
Characteristics: Smallest part and ROYGBIV
Uses: To see, Vitamin D & C, Plant growth
Dangers: Blindness and seizers
Affect Lives: If we didn't have visible light then we would not be able to see the color red or purple or blue or yellow. All we would see is black & white. Plus we would be living in a black & white world.
Ultraviolet Light
Charactistics: Visible to some animals, Higher F, Higher energy
Uses: Helps skin to produce vitamin D & C
Danger: BURNS
X-Rays
Charactiscs: X-Rays pass through tissues, Higher F, Higher Energy
Uses: Diagnose & Airport security
Danger: Cancer
Affect Lives: If we didn't have X-Rays then we would not be able to help people that have something inside of them. If we did not know where it was we could just something open it it would not be there. That person would have a lot of cuts on them after surgery if we didn't have X-Rays.
Gamma Rays
Charactics: Produce Sun, Higher F, Higher Energy
Uses It help locate black holes
Danger: Cell Damage
Affect Lives: If we didn't have gamma rays then spaceshuttls would fly into back holes and never be found again. The people inside the balck holes would be lost forever.
EM Spectrum
The EM spectrum describes all the wavelengths of light. From dark nebulae to exploding stars, it reveals an otherwise invisible universe.
