Figure 5 on textbook pages 44 & 45 __The Electromagnetic Spectrum__

The electromagnetic spectrum shows the range of different electromagnetic waves in order of increasing frequency and decreasing wavelength.

Interpret the Diagram: Which electromagnetic waves have the longest wavelength?

For visible light below, write the names of the colors.



Ultraviolet light causes sunburns. Light behaving both as a particle and as a wave detected. Quantum mechanics tells us that light can behave simultaneously as a particle or a wave. However, there has never been an experiment able to capture both natures of light at the same time; the closest we have come is seeing either wave or particle, but always at different times.

How are nanoparticles currently being researched and designed to provide ways to protect against, detect and treat cancer?

Through three hands-on activities, students perform flame tests to become familiar with the transfer of energy in quantum form, design and conduct their own quality-control experiments to test sun protection factors (SPFs), and write nanotechnology grant proposals.
