Properties of EM Waves1. They transfer energy from one place to another.
2. They are transverse waves.
3. They can travel through vacuum.
4. They travel through vacuum with the speed of light = 3.0 × 108 m/s.
5. Their speed is given by v = f (frequency) × λ (wavelength)
6. They obey the laws of reflection and refraction.

Relationship between f and λFor EM waves,
v = f × λ = 3.0 × 108 m/s (constant)
If f decreases, λ must increase.
If f increases, λ must decrease.

Relationship between f and λPractice Question
A wave moving along a length of rope has a frequency of f. Given that the speed of the wave is constant, what happens to the wavelength of the wave when the frequency is increased to 2f?
Using the wave equation:
Wavelength of the wave will be halved when the f of the wave doubles.
𝑣=2 𝑓 ×= 𝑓 l?l2
𝑣= 𝑓 l

Relationship between f and energy
• The greater the frequency f, the greater the energy.
• The SHORTER the wavelength the HIGHER the frequency the GREATER the energy possessed by the wave.
• So gamma rays (highest frequency) has the highest energy.

Uses of EM WavesGamma Knife
The high energy gamma rays are emitted from a cobalt-60 source.
The rays are focused on the brain tumour through the use of a special protective helmet with holes drilled in it.

Each individual beam is not strong enough to damage normal living tissue.

At the point where the beams converge, the cumulative energy is able to kill the cancerous cells.

Effects of EM WavesIonising radiation on living matter Ionising radiation is radiation that has the energy to remove
electrons from atoms or molecules.
Exposure to ionising radiation can damage biological molecules and lead to abnormal cell division.
This may cause cancers and/or deformities to a developing foetus.

Effects of EM WavesInfrared Heating The emission of infrared radiation is what makes us feel warm when
we stand near a barbecue pit.
We feel warm because we absorb the infrared radiation.
Heat radiating from the charcoal is actually infrared radiation.
