How were the invisible parts of the EM spectrum discovered? The Big Picture Have you ever wondered
Learning Outcomes 1. Know the electromagnetic spectrum 2. Identify the order of the EM spectrum in terms of: - frequency - wavelength - speed and colour for visible light - use the equation v = λf 3. Explain uses of electromagnetic radiation 4. Understand the dangers of EM radiation and how to protect against the risks of EM radiation EM spectrum DISCOVERY LESSON TASK You need to find out the information for yourself that will help you understand the learning outcomes. After two lessons you should be confident you understand all of these. Below I have listed different tasks you need to complete to help you understand the topic. Remember that there are two types of waves: transverse and longitudinal. Investigate to which category EM waves belong. Identify the different parts of the EM spectrum Organize the waves in terms of wavelength, frequency and energy transfer. Find a n acronym to remember the order of EM waves.. Task 1: Produce a visual representation of all the information. You can chose a poster, a timeline, a model or any other representation Investigate the uses of EM waves. Task 3: Make a slide show for each type of wave. Include the source, the energy, wavelength and speed of this wave and which property makes this type unique for a specific use You must include at least two photos per slide, but you can use more. You cannot use more than 10 words on each slide and you can only make one slide for each type of wave. Keep some space to include the dangers from the next task NEUTRALISATION Now that you know the uses of EM waves, find out some information about their dangers. Add these to your slide Find some information out about how to protect yourself and others from the dangers of radiation. Add this information to your slide Now that you can recall the order of EM waves you need to find out how to calculate further information. Find out: - How to calculate the speed, frequency and wavelength of EM waves. - What all EM waves have in common - How EM waves are different from each other. - What is ionizing radiation and which parts of the EM spectrum are they found Homework: Complete past paper exam questions. Task 5: Test your knowledge by completing the quiz on edpuzzle, logging in with the code epzqr1 Use BBC bitesize and the Powerpoints on my website to help you find out the information. Create a table to show differences and similarities of EM waves. Task 2: Complete WS 1. Check your answers with the teacher

Dangers
EM Radiation: Gamma Uses: Kills harmful bacteria in food, sterilising surgical equipment, killing cancer cells. Dangers: High doses can kill cells. Lower doses can cause cells to become cancerous.
EM Radiation: X rays Uses: Shadow pictures of luggage and inside the human body. Dangers: High doses can kill cells. Lower doses can cause cells to become cancerous. How do hospital workers limit their exposure to Gamma and X rays? Hospital workers limit exposure to Gamma and X rays by standing behind lead shields or by leaving the room when the radiations are being used.
EM Radiation: Ultraviolet Uses: Sun beds, fluorescent lamps and security marking. Dangers: High doses can kill cells. Lower doses can cause cells to become cancerous. Which type of radiation is the most dangerous? The higher the frequency of the radiation, the more dangerous it is. So gamma is more dangerous than X rays or ultraviolet.
EM Radiation: Light Uses: Iris scanning and endoscopes Dangers: Blindness
EM Radiation: Infrared Uses: Remote controls (TV/VCR), radiant heaters, grills, optical fibre communication, night vision. Dangers: Skin burns
EM Radiation: Microwaves Uses: Satellite communication, mobile phone networks, cooking, RADAR. Dangers: Internal tissue heating.
Radio waves EM Radiation: Radio waves Uses: Communication and astronomy. Dangers: None
