18.1 Electromagnetic Waves
The waves that carry this girl’s cell phone conversation are not visible.
Can a cell phone damage your brain?
18.1 Electromagnetic Waves
How are electromagnetic waves different from mechanical waves?
What Are Electromagnetic Waves?
Electromagnetic waves are produced when an electric charge vibrates or accelerates.
Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum, or empty space, as well as through matter.
Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves consisting of changing electric fields and changing magnetic fields.
• Like mechanical waves, electromagnetic waves carry energy from place to place.
• Electromagnetic waves differ from mechanical waves in how they are produced and how they travel.
What Are Electromagnetic Waves?
18.1 Electromagnetic Waves
How They Are ProducedElectromagnetic waves are produced by constantly changing electric fields and magnetic fields.
• An electric field in a region of space exerts electric forces on charged particles. Electric fields are produced by electrically charged particles and by changing magnetic fields.
• A magnetic field in a region of space produces magnetic forces. Magnetic fields are produced by magnets, by changing electric fields, and by vibrating charges.
What Are Electromagnetic Waves?
18.1 Electromagnetic Waves
Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves because the fields are at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels.
What Are Electromagnetic Waves?
18.1 Electromagnetic Waves
How They TravelChanging electric fields produce changing magnetic fields, and changing magnetic fields produce changing electric fields, so the fields regenerate each other.
• Electromagnetic waves do not need a medium.
• The transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves traveling through matter or across space is called electromagnetic radiation.
What Are Electromagnetic Waves?
18.1 Electromagnetic Waves
The Speed of LightSince Michelson, many other scientists have measured the speed of light.
All electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed when in a vacuum, regardless of the observer’s motion.
The Speed of Electromagnetic Waves

Click below on the link for the interactive question on which object slows down light the most? SELECT “LAUNCH INTERACTIVE” NEXT TO KITCHEN PICTURE ITEMS. Click on the item you think is correct. Once you find the correct answer, return... READ EACH ONE.
What is the dual nature of electromagnetic radiation?
Wave or Particle?
18.1 Electromagnetic Waves
Scientists know that electromagnetic radiation travels as a wave. Scientists also have evidence that electromagnetic radiation behaves like a stream of particles. So which is light, wave or particle?
• It is both.
Wave or Particle?
OK - REMEMBER THE CELL PHONE QUESTION.WATCH THIS AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK. It cameoff the internet.
TRY THIS AT HOME!!!!
QuickTime™ and a decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
18.1 Electromagnetic Waves
The fact that light casts a shadow has been used as evidence for both the wave model of light and the particle model of light.
Wave or Particle?
TRYING THE POPCORN AND CELL PHONE EXPERIMENT. PERHAPS, YOU SHOULD CLICK THIS VIDEO LINK
The emission of electrons from a metal caused by light striking the metal is called the photoelectric effect. In 1905, Albert Einstein (1879–1955) proposed that light, and all electromagnetic radiation, consists of packets of energy.
These packets of electromagnetic energy are now called photons.
Each photon’s energy is proportional to the frequency of the light. Blue light has a higher frequency than red light, so photons of blue light have more energy than photons of red light.
Wave or Particle?

Blue light consists of photons that have enough energy to cause electrons to be emitted from a metal surface.
Red light photons have too little energy to cause any electrons to be emitted from a
metal surface. Watch blue light effect...--->
18.1 Electromagnetic Waves
The closer you are to a source of light, the brighter the light appears.
• Photons travel outward from a light source in all directions.
• Near the light source, the photons spread through a small area, so the light is intense.
• Farther from the source, the photons spread over a larger area.
Intensity
18.1 Electromagnetic Waves
Intensity is the rate at which a wave’s energy flows through a given unit of area. A wave model also explains how intensity decreases.
• As waves travel away from the source, they pass through a larger and larger area.
• The total energy does not change, so the wave’s intensity decreases.
Intensity
18.1 Electromagnetic Waves
The closer you are to a surface when you spray paint it, the smaller the area the paint covers, and the more intense the paint color looks.

Assessment Questions
2. What is the wavelength of a radio wave that has a frequency of 1.5 x 106 Hz? (c = 3.0x108 m/s because electromagnetic waves travel at constant speed or velocity in a vacuum unlike mechanical waves.)a. 45 mb. 200 mc. 450 md. 2 km

2. What is the wavelength of a radio wave that has a frequency of 1.5 x 106 Hz? (c = 3.0x108 m/s)a. 45 mb. 200 mc. 450 md. 2 km
ANS: B (v = f x wavelength, so wavelength = v/f
wavelength = 3.0x108/1.5 x 106 = 2 x 102 m = 200 m

Continue with Notes 18.4 before proceeding with light and mirror labs....
When the lab is completed, work on the homework assignment which is due on Friday. The completed lab must be turned in no later than Friday as well.
Test on ch. 17-18-19 will be on Monday. Part 1 will probably count on this 9 weeks and part 2 will most likely count on 4th 9 weeks.
