Slide Content
Practical Applications and Effects of Electromagnetic Waves
Practical Applications and Effects of Electromagnetic Waves OBJECTIVES: Cite examples of practical applications of the different regions of EM waves, such as the use of radio waves in telecommunication; and Explain the effects of electromagnetic radiation on living things and the environment
Practical Applications and Effects of Electromagnetic Waves
Practical Applications: RADIO WAVES Radio/Television Signals Radio waves have the highest wavelength radio waves that are produced by making electrons vibrate
Global Positioning System (GPS) provides geographical position and time information anywhere on or near the Earth
Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI) commonly found in hospitals and its used to look at organs and structures inside your body
MICROWAVES Satellite It can penetrate the Earth’s atmosphere signals are transmitted by an antenna to a satellite which amplifies and retransmits the signal to an antenna in other parts of the world
● Terrestrial communication A cell phone is a radio transmitter and receiver that uses microwaves.
● Cooking Penetrate and agitate the water molecules within the food. Thus, they create molecular friction which produces heat that will cook the food.
● Radar Radio Detection and Ranging is a detection system used to determine the range, angle or velocity of objects used to detect aircraft, ships, and the like
Satellite ● Terrestrial communication ● Cooking ● Radar
INFRARED ● Remote Controls It uses LED lights to transmit signals to control devices and as it transmits signals, it emits pulses of invisible infrared light
INFRARED ● Thermal Imaging are used to show the temperature variation of the body The differences in color determine the differences in temperature
INFRARED ● Night vision goggles used to capture the infrared light being emitted as heat by objects in the field of view
VISIBLE LIGHT It enables us to see things around us Gives light to the screen of most electronic devices
●Optical fibers A flexible tube with tiny camera that is used to observe the internal parts of the body . VISIBLE LIGHT
● Ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation In sunlight interact with a protein (7-DHC) in the skin, converting it into vitamin D3, the active form of vitamin D, which is essential for maintaining healthy bones and teeth ULTRAVIOLET
● Security Markings ULTRAVIOLET
● Sterilization of water in drinking fountains ULTRAVIOLET
● Fluorescence ULTRAVIOLET
X-RAY ● Diagnosing Bone Fracture ● Airport Security Scanner Long Wavelength X-rays Short Wavelength X-rays
X-RAY
GAMMA RAY ● Treat tumors and cancer ( Radiotheraphy ) ● Sterilize Surgical Instruments
