Learning Targets: 1 – Below Standard 2 – Approaching Standard 3 – At Standard 4 – Above Standard A: I can make a labeled diagram of the electromagnetic spectrum showing how different regions of the spectrum differ regarding: wavelength, energy, frequency, and uses. What are the seven areas of the electromagnetic spectrum called? Describe what happens to the frequency of the electromagnetic spectrum as the wavelength increases. Give a description of how all seven areas of the EMS are used by people. Using your knowledge of the EMS, describe why nuclear/gamma radiation can be so harmful to humans in terms of energy. B: I can describe the difference between electromagnetic and mechanical waves. Give an example of an EM wave and an example of a Mechanical wave. What are the two main similarities between EM and Mechanical waves? What are the two differences between EM and Mechanical waves? Describe a 3rd difference and similarity between EM and Mechanical waves.
