Introductory Message For the facilitator: This Self Learning Module (SLM) is a stand-alone resource material in Science which is intended for the learners of the Division of Bacolod City. Learners who do not have online accessibility or who do not want to risk face-to-face learning may utilize this module. This includes a learner-friendly pretest, self-check exercises, and other modes of instructions for learners and teachers who are geographically remote from each other. This covers topics in Grade 10 in the 2nd Quarter with corresponding activities for learners to achieve the most essential learning competencies and lesson objectives.

Each exercise in this module is designed for independent learning and practice. However, ensure that the learners’ parents, elder siblings, guardians or relatives at home will guide and support them as they accomplish the given tasks.

Furthermore, explain to students that taking the tests diligently will allow them to learn their lessons for their academic progress. Most importantly, remind them to answer the given activities on a separate answer sheet and handle this module with utmost care.

For the learner: This Self Learning Module (SLM) is a learner-friendly resource material in Science which is specifically designed for your learning needs and progress. Your patience and dedication in reading and answering the exercises will help you successfully achieve the objectives. You are free to ask assistance from your teachers, parents, siblings, friends, and family members whom you think can help you best. Read each lesson carefully and follow the instructions for your activities.

Remember to answer the given exercises in a separate sheet of paper.

When you are done, kindly submit it to your teacher who will check and evaluate your level of competency.

You can do it! Good luck and God bless

I Need to Know This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you * compare the relative wavelengths of different form of Electromagnetic Waves (S10FE-IIa-b-47); and * cite examples of practical applications of the different region of EM waves such as the use of radio waves in telecommunications (S10FE-IIc-d48).

The scope of this module allows you to use it in many different learning situations. The language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students.

The lessons are arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course. But the order in which you read them can be changed to correspond with the textbook you are now using. This module will discuss lesson on Electromagnetic Waves and Their Practical Applications.

After going through this module, you are expected to: 1. compare the different forms of electromagnetic waves in terms of their relative wavelengths; 2. arrange the different forms of Electromagnetic Waves in terms of their wavelength, frequency, and energy; and 3. cite some practical applications of different regions of Electromagnetic Waves.

Lesson

Electromagnetic Spectrum and its Practical Applications

Lesson Overview Have you tried heating your food using a microwave oven? How about listening to your favorite music on the radio? Have you sent a text message to your friend?

The activities mentioned are some of the numerous uses of electromagnetic waves.

Electromagnetic waves are electric and magnetic fields traveling through empty space at a speed of light. There are different examples of electromagnetic waves. They are arranged according to frequency and wavelength called the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic waves are Radio waves, Microwaves, Infrared, Visible Light, Ultraviolet, X-ray, and Gamma rays.

Figure 1. Electromagnetic Spectrum As you can see in Figure 1, different electromagnetic waves are arranged according to increasing frequency (in terms of Hertz or Hz) and decreasing wavelength (in terms of meters or m). When you were in Grade 7, properties of waves were discussed by your teacher which includes frequency and wavelength.

Frequency refers to the equal number of waves that passes at a given point in a unit of time while wavelength refers to the distance between two successive parts of a wave.

Electromagnetic waves possess energies in terms of electron-Volt (eV). The energy of each electromagnetic wave is dependent on the frequency (in terms of Hertz or Hz). Wave frequency is related to wave energy. The more energy in the wave, the higher its frequency. The lower the frequency is, the less energy in the wave. When it comes to electromagnetic spectrum, gamma ray has the highest energy while radio wave has the lowest energy.

For wavelength (in nanometers or nm), it is the other way around. As the wavelength increases, the energy decreases so thus the wave’s frequency.

Within the electromagnetic spectrum, the shortest wavelength is gamma ray, and the longest wavelength is radio wave.

But what are the different uses of these waves? Why are they important to us?

Let us discuss some of their uses as we look at Table 1.

Table 1. Common Applications of Electromagnetic Waves Electromagnetic Wave Applications Radio Waves Used in radio and television broadcast.

Used in heating and cooking food. Also used in wireless networks, radars, satellite, and spacecraft Microwaves communication.

Infrared

Used in determining the temperature of an object (thermography). Also used in remote controls for television and other gadgets.

Visible Light

Used in lightings. Used in photosynthesis of plants. Also used in lasers, television screens and phone screens to work.

Ultraviolet Rays

Used in killing bacteria. Induces Vitamin D in the skin of humans. Used to detect fake bank notes

X-ray

Used in checking for bone fractures, spots in lungs as well as checking for breast cancer.

Gamma ray

Used in sterilizing medical equipment as well as killing cancer cells by radio therapy.

Table 1 gives us information how different electromagnetic waves are used in communication, technology, and even in medicine. Let us get to know more about electromagnetic waves as we perform an activity.

I Will Do This Activity 1: Into Greater Lengths Electromagnetic Waves are arranged according to decreasing wavelength. Study and analyze the figure below and complete the table.

Figure 2. Electromagnetic Spectrum with its corresponding wavelengths Electromagnetic Wave Radio Microwave Infrared Visible Ultraviolet X-ray Gamma ray 7
