UNIT 2 THE ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM

Like expanding ripples in a pond after a pebblehas been tossed in, ELECTROMAGNETIC radiationtravels across space in the form of waves. Thesewaves travel at the speed of light 300,000 kilo-meters per second. Their wavelengths, the dis-tance from wave crest to wave crest, vary fromthousands of kilometers across (in the case ofthe longest radio waves) to fractions of ananometer, in the cases of the smallest x-raysand gamma rays . ELECTROMAGNETIC radiation has properties of bothwaves and particles. What we detect depends on themethod we use to study it. The beautiful colors thatappear in a soap film or in the dispersion of lightfrom a diamond are best described as waves. Thelight that strikes a solar cell to produce an electriccurrent is best described as a particle.

broader band of ultraviolet light that lies between 10 and 300 nanometers. X-rays follow ultraviolet light and diminish into the hundred-billionth of a meter range. Gamma rays fall in the trillionth of a meter range. The wavelengths of x-rays and gamma rays are so tiny that scientists use another unit, the electron volt, to describe them.

Light has particle properties and wave properties, and when considered as a wave, it has a frequency that is tied to color. When light strikes a surface, its energy is either transmitted, abosorbed, or reflected. The color of a surface represents the frequency of the spectrum reflected back to the observer. A surface that is white
