Electromagnetic Spectrum Drawing



Electromagnetic Spectrum Drawing

Objective:

Create a drawing representing the electromagnetic spectrum.

Directions:

You will create your own electromagnetic spectrum (you can use your textbook as a guide). You must include all parts of the electromagnetic spectrum (waves, frequency, wavelength, and a drawing that describes each wave).

1. Fold your paper like this ( ( (

2. Label the top of your paper “ The Electromagnetic spectrum”

3. The top line will be where the crests of your waves reach.

4. The bottom line will be where the troughs of your waves reach.

5. Make your electromagnetic spectrum begin with long wavelengths/low frequency waves and end with short wavelength/high frequency waves. Be sure to label the wavelengths.

1. Draw an arrow showing how frequency increases along your EM spectrum.

2. Draw an arrow showing how wavelength increases along your EM spectrum.

6. Label the types of waves that are found along the spectrum, draw a picture that describe each of those wave types.

Requirements:

o All parts of the Electromagnetic Spectrum are included

• All types of waves and radiation

• Frequency

• Wavelength

• Comparison to size of the wavelength

o You must use color

o Be sure when you include the “visual” portion of the spectrum that you break that down into the component colors (ROYGBIV) – again, see your book for an example

o Uses

• Example both with words and a picture, uses of the different types of radiation
