What is an electromagnetic wave?
An electromagnetic wave (also called electromagnetic radiation) is a wave created by vibrations between an electric field and a magnetic field. The module links this to two discoveries:
- Oersted: a changing electric field produces a magnetic field, so a changing magnetic field forms around a vibrating charge.
- Michael Faraday: a changing magnetic field produces an electric field.
Like all waves, EM waves carry energy as they travel. They do not need a medium, so they can travel through a vacuum. In a vacuum they move at 3 x 10⁸ m/s.
The rope activity helps learners picture this. Moving your hand up and down makes a wave on the rope. In the same way, moving an electrically charged object back and forth makes EM waves in space.
The electromagnetic spectrum
The electromagnetic spectrum is the arrangement of the seven types of EM waves from lowest to highest frequency. In order of increasing frequency, they are:
- Radio waves
- Microwaves
- Infrared
- Visible light
- Ultraviolet
- X-ray
- Gamma ray
The module’s Figure 1 and Figure 2 give the boundary values of each type. These are the ranges learners fill in during Enrichment Activities 1 and 2:
| EM wave | Wavelength (meters) | Frequency (hertz) |
|---|---|---|
| Radio wave | greater than 1 x 10⁻¹ | below 3 x 10⁹ |
| Microwave | 1 x 10⁻¹ to 1 x 10⁻³ | 3 x 10⁹ to 3 x 10¹¹ |
| Infrared | 1 x 10⁻³ to 7 x 10⁻⁷ | 3 x 10¹¹ to 4 x 10¹⁴ |
| Visible light | 7 x 10⁻⁷ to 4 x 10⁻⁷ | 4 x 10¹⁴ to 7.5 x 10¹⁴ |
| Ultraviolet | 4 x 10⁻⁷ to 1 x 10⁻⁸ | 7.5 x 10¹⁴ to 3 x 10¹⁶ |
| X-ray | 1 x 10⁻⁸ to 1 x 10⁻¹¹ | 3 x 10¹⁶ to 3 x 10¹⁹ |
| Gamma ray | less than 1 x 10⁻¹¹ | above 3 x 10¹⁹ |
The module compares these wavelengths to the sizes of familiar things. A radio wave can be as long as a PBA basketball court (28 meters), and a microwave is about the size of a 1-peso coin.
Colors of visible light
Visible light is the only EM wave we can see with our naked eye. Red has the longest wavelength and lowest frequency, and violet has the shortest wavelength and highest frequency. In between, from longest to shortest wavelength, are orange, yellow, green, and blue.
Wavelength, frequency, and energy
The key relationship in this module is simple. As you move across the spectrum from radio waves to gamma rays:
- Wavelength decreases.
- Frequency increases.
- Energy increases, because the energy of an EM wave depends on its frequency.
So a longer wavelength means a lower frequency, and a shorter wavelength means a higher frequency.
- Radio waves have the longest wavelength, the lowest frequency, and the lowest energy. They have the lowest ionizing radiation.
- Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength, the highest frequency, and the highest energy. They have the highest ionizing radiation.
Enrichment Activity 3 asks learners to show this by writing INCREASING or DECREASING beside each column of a table.
How to use this module
- Start with the pretest. If you get all 15 items right, you may skip the module. If you score 14 or below, go on with the module.
- Follow the parts in order. The module is designed for independent, self-paced study, so take your time.
- Finish the first-week work before the second week. The module tells you to take a break after Assessment 3.
- Use a separate, clean sheet of paper for all answers, write your name, and label your work. Do not write on the module.

Note to the Teacher
You may use the following criteria to rate your student’s output.
Performance Rubric
| Score | Indicators |
|---|---|
| 5 points | All responses are correct. |
| 4 points | All responses are correct but grammatically wrong. |
| 3 points | Some responses are correct. |
| 2 points | None of the responses are correct. |
| 1 point | Did not attempt to answer |
What is It
When you move your hands up and down while holding one end of the rope, you create wave on the rope. The waves you created may look different depending on how fast you move your hand.
Similarly, if you move an electrically charged object back and forth in an empty space, you’ll create electromagnetic waves in space. But what is an electromagnetic wave?
Electromagnetic wave (EM wave) or electromagnetic radiation is a wave that is created as a result of vibrations between an electric field and magnetic field, hence known as ‘electromagnetic wave’. Recall Oersted’s discovery: A changing electric field produces magnetic field. A changing magnetic field is therefore produced around a vibrating charge. And according to Michael Faraday, the changing magnetic field will produce electric field. A wave carries energy as it propagates, EM wave does the same, too. EM waves can travel through anything even on vacuum, meaning they do not need any medium to travel. They travel in a vacuum at a speed of 3×10⁸ m/s.
What’s More
There are seven different types of EM waves. They are arranged in a gradual progression from the waves of lowest frequency to highest frequency. This arrangement of EM waves is called electromagnetic spectrum. In order of increasing frequency, the EM spectrum includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-ray, and gamma ray.
Now let’s strengthen your concepts regarding the different EM waves by comparing their relative wavelengths and frequencies. And as you move along, discover some characteristics of EM waves. So if you’re ready to ride the waves, answer the following enrichment activities and dive into the world of EM waves. Have fun!
Enrichment Activity 1
Wavelength is the distance between crest to crest or trough to trough. EM waves are bounded at different ranges. Meaning each type of EM waves has upper and lower limits on the spectrum.
Using Figure 1, determine the wavelength ranges of each of the forms of electromagnetic waves. On a separate sheet of paper, copy and answer the given table on page 13. Afterwards answer the questions that follow.

Congratulations! You are now done with all the learning activities for the first week. Be sure to remember all the things you have learned because you will be needing them in accomplishing the learning activities for next week. For now, you may have your deserved break.
What I Have Learned
At this point, let’s sum up what you have learned. Pick out the word that will make the statements correct. Write your answer on a separate sheet of paper.
The electromagnetic spectrum is the arrangement of 1. (electromagnetic waves, ultraviolet radiation), which are waves that are created with changing electric field and 2. (electric charge, magnetic field). EM waves travel on 3. (air, vacuum) at a constant speed of 4. (3 x10⁸ m/s, 8 x10³ m/s).
The electromagnetic spectrum is arranged in a manner of 5. (decreasing, increasing) wavelength, 6. (decreasing, increasing) frequency and 7. (decreasing, increasing) energy. 8. (Gamma ray, Radio wave) has the longest wavelength, lowest frequency and lowest energy among all EM waves. The 9. (radio wave, visible light) is the only EM wave that can be seen by our naked eye, whereas 10. (red, violet) has the longest wavelength and 11. (red, violet) has the greatest frequency. On the other hand, 12. (gamma ray, radio wave) has the shortest wavelength and highest frequency; which carries the highest 13. (energy, wavelength) among all EM waves. Therefore 14. (gamma ray, radio wave) has the lowest ionizing radiation, while 15. (gamma ray, radio wave) has the highest ionizing radiation.
What I Can Do
For sure you are now acquainted with the different electromagnetic waves. It’s your turn to make your own chart about electromagnetic waves.
Make a chart of electromagnetic waves showing the comparison of its size. Cut out pictures of objects or look for things that may represent the size of each electromagnetic wave. On a separate sheet of paper, paste the pictures you have found and arrange them according to the arrangement of EM waves in the electromagnetic spectrum.
