  1. EM Spectrum Deborah Shindell

  2. Table of Contents • What is it? • Radio Waves • Microwaves • The Ianfrared • Visible Light Waves • Ultraviolet Waves • X-rays • Gamma-rays • Work Cited

  3. What is the EM Spectrum? • Electromagnetic waves - formed when an electric field couples with a magnetic field • Differ from each other in wavelength • Wavelength - distance between one wave crest to the next

  4. Radio Waves • Longest wavelengths • Longer than a football field or as short as a football • Radio (AM/FM), TV, cell phones

  5. Microwaves • Measured in centimeters • Heat food • Transmitting information from one place to another • Penetrate haze, light rain and snow, clouds, and smoke

  6. The Infrared

  7. Visible Light Waves
