      • The basic difference between types of radiation is their differing frequencies. Each frequency has an associated wavelength. As frequency increases across the spectrum, wavelength decreases. Energy also increases with frequency. Because of this, higher frequencies penetrate matter more readily.

  1. Explain why the higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave. Draw a simplified electromagnetic spectrum, indicating the relative positions, frequencies, and spacing of the different types of radiation bands.

    Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) consists of waves. The waves contain electric and magnetic energy. The electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) includes different types of energy waves. At one end of the spectrum, there are very low energy waves. Radio waves are an example of low energy waves. At the other end of the spectrum, there are very high energy wave...

    Radiation can be either non-ionizing or ionizing. 1. Non-ionizing radiation doesn’t have enough energy to ionize atoms or molecules. That means it can’t cause atoms to gain or lose electrons. There are several types of non-ionizing radiation. They include near ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared radiation, microwaves and radio waves. Even if...

    Particle radiation is made up of atomic or subatomic particles. These particles include protons, neutrons and electrons. They all have kinetic energy. That’s the energy is the energy an object has when it’s in motion. Both alpha particles and beta particles produce ionizing radiation. The charge they carry can remove electrons from atoms. They can ...

  2. Dec 28, 2020 · The range of wavelengths across the EM spectrum is divided into a number of types of electromagnetic radiation. On order of lowest frequency (highest energy, longest wavelength) to highest frequency (lowest energy, shortest wavelength) these types of radiation are:

  3. Define the electromagnetic spectrum, and describe it in terms of frequencies and wavelengths. Describe and explain the differences and similarities of each section of the electromagnetic spectrum and the applications of radiation from those sections.

  4. Learning Objectives. By the end of this section, you will be able to: List three “rules of thumb” that apply to the different frequencies along the electromagnetic spectrum. Explain why the higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave.

  5. Jul 17, 2022 · The different categories of electromagnetic waves differ in their wavelength range, or equivalently, in their corresponding frequency ranges. Their properties change smoothly from one frequency range to the next, with different applications in each range.

  6. Learning Objectives. By the end of this section, you will be able to: Explain how electromagnetic waves are divided into different ranges, depending on wavelength and corresponding frequency. Describe how electromagnetic waves in different categories are produced. Describe some of the many practical everyday applications of electromagnetic waves.
