5. Workbook Practice  Everyone needs a textbook open to page 39
If you have a workbook, please turn it to page 31
If you do NOT have a workbook, please get out 2 sheets of lined paper
Begin copying from the packet that I am loaning to you
You must include BOTH the question and your answer
Everyone will READ pages in the book and answer questions #1-19 in the workbook
Please work QUIETLY either alone or with one person at your table
You have minutes to finish before we grade it
For early finishers, find an space in your workbook to complete:
Page 40 in the textbook, Figure 2 “Developing Hypotheses” questions
Page 45 in the textbook, Section 1 Assessment: #1 and #2 (a,b,c)
Page 72 in the texbook, #21 (a, b, c) AND # 22, and # 23
Please write answers in complete sentences and copy drawings.

10. Hertz = the unit used to measure frequency of a wave
Example: a wave that cycles once per second has a frequency of 1 Hz
11. Electromagnetic
Wave = transfers
electrical and
magnetic energy
--does NOT need a medium
--move at the speed of light
--Real-life examples: light,
radio waves, microwaves,
X-rays

11. NOTES: Ch.2, Sec.1—Waves/Electromagnetic Spectrum PART 2
12. Electromagnetic Radiation= the energy transferred by electromagnetic waves
--no need for a medium can move E thru empty space
--this means we can see the sun and stars in space!!!
11. Electromagnetic Spectrum = complete range of electromagnetic waves placed in order of increasing frequency (decreasing wavelength)
