3 I CAN… Apply an understanding of electromagnetic spectrum to the composition and movement of objects in space.

4 WHAT IS THE ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM? The entire range of electromagnetic waves with different frequencies and wavelengths. It includes: 1.gamma rays 2.x-rays 3.ultraviolet waves 4.visible light 5.infrared waves 6.Microwaves 7.radio waves

5 SO WHAT IS A WAVE? In this diagram the white line represents the position of the medium when no wave is present, (like a rope tied to something at one end). The yellow line represents the position of the medium as a wave travels through it.

6 SO WHAT IS A WAVE?

7 Amplitude is how high above, or low beneath the center line the wave gets.

8 SO WHAT IS A WAVE? Wavelength (also symbolized as Λ or lambda) is the distance from peak to peak, trough to trough, or from where the wave hits the first time to the third time).
