EM Spectrum

Master the EM Spectrum! Label parts, identify uses, and understand wave properties with our EM Spectrum worksheet.

#1.) Fill in the parts of the EM Spectrum.*It must look exactly like the word bank- watch out for capital letters* Infrared UV X-rays Radio Visible light Microwaves Gamma Radio Microwaves Infrared Visible light UV X-rays Gamma #2.) Name the uses of each part of the EM Spectrum.Click on the line and choose from the word bank. Waves used for long-distance communication are radio waves.Waves used for short-distance communication are microwaves.Waves used for finding a missing person by their heat signature are infrared.Waves that allow us to see are called visible light.Waves used for medical imaging, like seeing bones, are x-rays.Waves that are the reason we wear sunscreen are ultraviolet.Waves that are used for killing cancer cells are gamma. #3.) Which side of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum has low wavelength, high frequency, and high energy? Left Right #4.) Which side of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum has high wavelength, low frequency, and low energy? Left Right #5.) What type of waves make up the EMS? Transverse (Sound) Longitudinal (Light) Transverse (Light) Longitudinal (Sound) #6.) What types of waves are produced by stars and galaxies? Mechanical Electromagnetic Sound Waves cannot be produced by stars and galaxies.
