What is EM Radiation?
Class Discussion: Use Your Text Book Page 317 to
Brainstorm with your shoulder partners-Think (2min) and
Share Your answers to questions 1 and 2.
1. How does Suns energy arrive on Earth?
Suns energy arrives on Earth as EM Radiation.
2. What is EM Radiation?
Energy that Electromagnetic Waves transfer through
matter or empty space at speed of light.
3. Which part of EM Radiation is visible?
Visible Light/ White Light, all other wavelengths are nonvisible.

Electromagnetic Spectrum
EM Spectrum Notes
In your notebook for each section, using your textbook fill
out this table.
Radio waves
Microwaves
Infrared
Visible Light
Ultraviolet Light
X-rays
Gamma rays
Electromagnetic Spectrum
EM Spectrum is made up of Energy and Visible Light
that are manifested as Electromagnetic Waves of
different wavelengths.
Hands up who is familiar with:
1.Radio Waves
2. Microwaves
3. UV Rays
4. X Rays
Electromagnetic Spectrum Song
EM wave is a disturbance that involves transfer of electric
and magnetic energy-aka a movement of charged
particles which have electric and magnetic fields around
them.

Speed of Light
Discuss: How fast is Speed of Light?
Light travels at 300,000,000 m/sec
How long does it take for a light wave or a
photon) to travel from the Sun to the Earth?
It takes 8 min for Light to reach Earth.
Guess how long it takes for light from Moon
to reach Earth?
It takes 1 second for light reflected off the
moon to reach the Earth.
Color of Light
Each electron that jumps back emits one photon
of light
What color is this light?
Depends on how big the jump between orbits
was.
The bigger the jump, the higher the energy.
The energy/frequency determines color;
Why does blue photon has more energy than a
red?
Spin all the colors together, what do you see?
Demonstration of the Color Wheel
Light as Particle
A photon is like a particle. What mass you
think a photon has?
Photon has no mass.
Think of how a photon can be compared
to a grain of sand?
We see so many photons at the same
time its like seeing all the sand on a
beach; we dont notice the single grains.
Sound Wave
Does Sound Need a Medium to travel
through?
Open book on page 337.
Look at the figure with speedometers,
which medium sound travels fastest?
Slowest?
How does this compare to light wave?

Light Transmission
Transparent materials transmit light, like
windows.
Remember all light has same Speed in
Vacuum, but Different frequencies have
different speeds in DIFFERENT materials.
Different frequencies causes a prism to
separate the colors.
Colored glass or plastic only transmits the
color that it is; it absorbs or reflects the other
colors.

Agenda:
7th Grade Continue Unit on Light
Many nebulae or stars forming regions form the gravitational collapse of gas
in the interstellar medium or ISM. As the material collapses under its own
weight, massive stars may form in the center, and their ultraviolet radiation
ionizes the surrounding gas, making it visible at optical wavelengths
