  1. Click here for an interactive EM spectrum [http://imagers.gsfc.nasa.gov/ems/ircat.gif]

  2. Types of EM Waves • Radio Waves • AM and FM Radio • Radar – Radio Detecting and Ranging • MRI – Magnetic Resonance Imaging Click here for a Radar animation

  4. Types of EM Waves • Microwaves • Microwave Ovens heat food by vibrating water molecules. • Satellite Communications and GPS systems • Cell Phones Click here for cell phone SAR ratings

  5. Types of EM Waves • Infrared Waves • These carry thermal energy (heat) • Thermal Photographs [http://www.thermal-imaging-survey.co.uk/archive/images/buildi1.jpg]

  6. Thermal Imaging shows infrared waves… Night Vision amplifies available light waves… [http://www.extremecctv.com/images/producttype/ThermalIR-vs-ActiveIR.pdf]

  7. Types of EM Waves • Visible Light • The only EM wave humans can see, it produces the colors around us.

  8. Types of EM Waves • Ultraviolet Waves • Can cause sunburn and skin cancer, but also needed for skin to produce Vitamin D. • Can kill bacteria.

  9. Types of EM Waves • X-Rays • Can travel through soft tissue, but are stopped by bones to make medical “X-Rays” • Airports to inspect luggage. [http://www.physiciansfirstinc.com/handsx.gif]

  10. Types of EM Waves • Gamma Rays • Ultra-High frequency waves that can break molecular bonds. • Radiation therapy can kill diseased cells, but if not controlled can also kill healthy cells.
