The Electromagnetic Spectrum 0.0 / 5 ? PhysicsWaves- The Electromagnetic SpectrumIGCSECIE Created by: alexandraboniuCreated on: 13-05-20 17:22 Approximate the range of the wavelengths of the waves and give real life examples 10 000m to 10ˆ-16 1 of 6 State the speed of each wave in vacuum 3*10ˆ8 m/s 2 of 6 How are the waves produced? By a moving charge (then they propagate themselves through space) 3 of 6 What is the smallest EM wave and what is its wavelength? Gamma Rays . 1*10ˆ-15 4 of 6 State the 7 EM waves in order of their frequency and then wavelength Gamma rays, X-rays, UV, Visible, Infra-Red, Microwaves, Radio (then reverse) 5 of 6 What is the danger of X-Rays? What is something more dangerous than them? They ionise (remove) atoms and damage living tissue. Gamma rays are more ionising than them. 6 of 6
