P1 - Part 3

1. 1Electromagnetic waves do not need a [blank_start]medium[blank_end] to travel through. They can travel through a [blank_start]vacuum[blank_end].
   

   1. Amedium
   2. Bvacuum
2. 2All electromagnetic waves travel:
   1.) In [blank_start]straight[blank_end] lines.
   2.) At the same [blank_start]speed[blank_end] - the [blank_start]speed[blank_end] of [blank_start]light[blank_end]. ( 300,000,000m/s)

3. 3All [blank_start]waves[blank_end] can be reflected.
   The Law of Reflection states that the angle of [blank_start]incidence[blank_end] is always [blank_start]equal[blank_end] to the angle of [blank_start]reflection[blank_end].

4. 4All [blank_start]waves[blank_end] can be refracted.
   When waves move from one medium to another, their [blank_start]speed[blank_end] changes and this makes them change [blank_start]direction[blank_end]. The wave will slow down if it goes from a [blank_start]less[blank_end] dense material to a [blank_start]more[blank_end] dense material. If the wave slows down it will bend [blank_start]towards[blank_end] the [blank_start]normal[blank_end] line. The wave will speed up if it goes from a [blank_start]more[blank_end] dense material to a [blank_start]less[blank_end] dense material. If the wave speeds up it will bend [blank_start]away[blank_end] from the [blank_start]normal[blank_end] line.

5. 5Diffraction occurs when waves pass through a [blank_start]gap[blank_end] or an [blank_start]obstacle[blank_end] which is a [blank_start]similar[blank_end] size to the [blank_start]wavelength[blank_end] of the wave. The wave [blank_start]spreads[blank_end] out. The more similar the gap is to the size of the wavelength, the more [blank_start]diffraction[blank_end] occurs.

   6. Fdiffraction
6. 6Wave - based sensors such as [blank_start]telescopes[blank_end] and m[blank_start]icroscopes[blank_end] are affected by because diffraction will limit the smallest thing they can detect. For example, two stars close together will be seen as one [blank_start]single[blank_end] star because [blank_start]diffraction[blank_end] will make the [blank_start]light[blank_end] from the two stars [blank_start]spread[blank_end] and overlap.

7. 7[blank_start]Endoscopes[blank_end] allow doctors to see inside the body through a tiny incision. Inside the [blank_start]endoscope[blank_end] are bundles of [blank_start]optical[blank_end] [blank_start]fibres[blank_end]. [blank_start]Visible[blank_end] [blank_start]light[blank_end] is sent down one of the bundles of fibres. The [blank_start]image[blank_end] produced can be viewed down the [blank_start]fibre[blank_end] or on a [blank_start]TV[blank_end] screen.

9. 9Lasers produce a [blank_start]coherent[blank_end] [blank_start]monochromatic[blank_end] beam of light. They have many uses including in s[blank_start]urgical[blank_end] and [blank_start]dental[blank_end] treatments ( which means the patient [blank_start]bleeds[blank_end] less), [blank_start]cutting[blank_end] materials in industry, [blank_start]guiding[blank_end] weapons (by [blank_start]reflecting[blank_end] off the [blank_start]target[blank_end] to show that the [blank_start]aim[blank_end] is correct) and [blank_start]light[blank_end] [blank_start]laser[blank_end] shows.

10. 10Digital information can be stored as a sequence of billions of tiny [blank_start]pits[blank_end] ( a digital code ) in a [blank_start]metal[blank_end] layer on the underside of a CD. A CD player [blank_start]spins[blank_end] the disc and the [blank_start]laser[blank_end] light is [blank_start]reflected[blank_end] from the [blank_start]pits[blank_end]. The [blank_start]reflected[blank_end] pulses of [blank_start]light[blank_end] ( a [blank_start]digital[blank_end] signal of on and offs) are detected and turned into electrical [blank_start]signals[blank_end] and then transmitted to an [blank_start]amplifier[blank_end].

11. 11When an object absorbs infrared, the [blank_start]energy[blank_end] from the electromagnetic wave is absorbed by the [blank_start]particles[blank_end] in the [blank_start]surface[blank_end] of the object and so their [blank_start]kinetic[blank_end] [blank_start]energy[blank_end] increases ( they [blank_start]vibrate[blank_end] more ). This means that the [blank_start]temperature[blank_end] of the object will increase. Some surface particles become so hot that they gt damage and burnt. The hotter [blank_start]surface[blank_end] particles then transfer energy to particles in the centre by [blank_start]conduction[blank_end] so the whole thing cooks through

12. 12All objects give out infrared radiation but:
    1.) Hotter objects emit [blank_start]more[blank_end] infrared than cooler ones.
    2.) [blank_start]Black[blank_end] objects emit more infrared than [blank_start]pale[blank_end] ones at the same temperature
    3.) Rougher or [blank_start]dull[blank_end] surfaces emit more infrared than [blank_start]shiny[blank_end] ones at the same temperature

13. 13Food gets hot in an oven because it absorbs the infrared that the oven is emitting , but:
    1) A [blank_start]black[blank_end] object absorbs infrared better than a [blank_start]pale[blank_end] one so gets [blank_start]hotter[blank_end] more easily.
    2.) A shiny object [blank_start]reflects[blank_end] infrared so it cannot [blank_start]absorb[blank_end] it and does not get hot so easily.

14. 14Wrapping a baked potato in kitchen foil [blank_start]reduces[blank_end] the amount of [blank_start]infrared[blank_end] radiation it emits, so it cools more [blank_start]slowly[blank_end].

15. 15Microwaves are electromagnetic waves that can penetrate about [blank_start]1[blank_end]cm into the food and are absorbed by [blank_start]water[blank_end] and [blank_start]fat[blank_end] molecules in the outer [blank_start]layers[blank_end] of the food. This increases their [blank_start]kinetic[blank_end] [blank_start]energy[blank_end], making them [blank_start]vibrate[blank_end] more. They then pass on [blank_start]kinetic[blank_end] [blank_start]energy[blank_end] to other particles via [blank_start]conduction[blank_end] and [blank_start]convection[blank_end]. The food should be [blank_start]stirred[blank_end] to enable the heat to be spread through the food. Shiny metal surfaces [blank_start]reflect[blank_end] [blank_start]microwaves[blank_end], which is why metal should never be put in an oven. Microwaves can penetrate through [blank_start]glass[blank_end] or p[blank_start]lastic[blank_end] so food in containers made from these materials can cook easily. To prevent microwaves passing out of the [blank_start]glass[blank_end] and p[blank_start]lastic[blank_end] machine, [blank_start]metal[blank_end] [blank_start]mesh[blank_end] is placed inside the door.

16. 16Microwaves have [blank_start]longer[blank_end] wavelengths than infrared, which means they are absorbed bu water and fat more easily than infrared. This means they cook food more [blank_start]quickl[blank_end]y and are more able to cause burns on [blank_start]body[blank_end] tissue.

17. 17Wireless Communications:
    Any appliance that communicates wirelessly need an [blank_start]aerial[blank_end].
    Advantages of wireless communications:
    1.) No wired connection needed
    2.) P[blank_start]ortable[blank_end]
    3.) C[blank_start]onvenient[blank_end]
    4.) Use it on the [blank_start]move[blank_end]

    1. Aaerial
    2. Bortable
    3. Convenient
    4. Dmove
18. 18Another advantage of wireless communications is that they travel through [blank_start]air[blank_end] and can be reflected/refracted by [blank_start]buildings[blank_end] or [blank_start]layers[blank_end] in the [blank_start]atmosphere[blank_end]. This allows a [blank_start]signal[blank_end] to be received that would otherwise be drops. However, the downside to this is that it may lead to a drop in [blank_start]signal[blank_end] [blank_start]quality[blank_end]. If the signal loses too much [blank_start]energy[blank_end], it becomes too [blank_start]weak[blank_end]. Also too many [blank_start]reflections[blank_end] can lead to a drop in [blank_start]quality[blank_end] as the appliance receives more than one [blank_start]signal[blank_end] at once. WiFi and Bluetooth are excellent for [blank_start]short[blank_end] range communication but a different technique is needed for [blank_start]long[blank_end] range communication.

19. 19Long range communications:
    1.) Signals can be [blank_start]reflected[blank_end] off the [blank_start]ionosphere[blank_end] to let them travel [blank_start]further[blank_end]
    2.) Alternatively, [blank_start]microwaves[blank_end] can be used to send a signal to [blank_start]satellites[blank_end] which receive it and then re [blank_start]transmit[blank_end] the signal to a different receiver.

20. 20What can result in a drop in signal quality (and make it difficult to send the signal where we want)?
    1.) When waves are transmitted from [blank_start]dishes[blank_end], some of the signal [blank_start]diffracts[blank_end] rather than travelling in a [blank_start]straight[blank_end] line.
    2.) Waves [blank_start]refract[blank_end] as they pass through the [blank_start]layers[blank_end] in the [blank_start]atmosphere[blank_end].

21. 21Seismic Waves:
    Earth's surface is made of plates of rock. Where these plates meet are [blank_start]fault[blank_end] [blank_start]lines[blank_end]. The plates moving can push or grind against each other. [blank_start]Pressure[blank_end] will build up in the plates and then there will be an abrupt slip along the fault line leading to the shifting of the [blank_start]plates[blank_end] and an [blank_start]earthquake[blank_end].
    Earthquakes send out a series of shock waves called [blank_start]seismic[blank_end] waves. These can cause serious [blank_start]damage[blank_end] when they reach earth's [blank_start]surface[blank_end]. If earthquakes happen under the sea, it may cause [blank_start]tsunami[blank_end].

    1.) Travel through [blank_start]solid[blank_end] and [blank_start]liquid[blank_end]
    2.) Travel very [blank_start]fast[blank_end]
    3.) Vibrations are in the [blank_start]same[blank_end] direction as the movement of the wave

23. 23S - Waves:
    1.) Travel through [blank_start]solid[blank_end] only
    2.) Travel [blank_start]slower[blank_end] than P - Waves
    3.) Vibrations are at [blank_start]90[blank_end] degrees to the direction of the movement of the wave
    4.) [blank_start]Transverse[blank_end] wave

24. 24After an earthquake, S-waves are only detected at certain places on the Earth. This is because the earth has a [blank_start]molten[blank_end] iron core and S - waves cannot travel through [blank_start]liquids[blank_end].

26. 26UV radiation is an electromagnetic wave. It has a [blank_start]short[blank_end] wavelength and a [blank_start]high[blank_end] frequency, meaning that it has a lot of [blank_start]energy[blank_end]. Exposure to a small amount of UV rays leads to [blank_start]sun[blank_end][blank_start]tan[blank_end], whilst exposure to large amounts leads to [blank_start]sun[blank_end][blank_start]burn[blank_end], [blank_start]premature[blank_end] [blank_start]skin[blank_end] [blank_start]aging[blank_end] and possibly [blank_start]skin[blank_end] [blank_start]cancer[blank_end]

27. 27Sunscreen can reduce the damage caused by [blank_start]UV[blank_end] radiation. Sunscreen [blank_start]absorbs[blank_end] the UV and protects the [blank_start]skin[blank_end] underneath it.
    SPF ( sun protection factor ) tells you how much protection a certain sunscreen offers. SPF 30 means you can spend [blank_start]30[blank_end] times as long in the sun without [blank_start]burning[blank_end].

28. 28The darker your skin, the more UV is [blank_start]absorbed[blank_end] at the [blank_start]surface[blank_end]. The protects the [blank_start]sensitive[blank_end] cells underneath.

29. 29DAB radio - [blank_start]digital[blank_end]:
    Advantages:
    1.) [blank_start]More[blank_end] stations available
    2.) Less chance of [blank_start]interference[blank_end] with other [blank_start]stations[blank_end] so the [blank_start]signal[blank_end] is clearer.
    
    Disadvantages:
    1.) Not all [blank_start]areas[blank_end] of the UK are covered.
    2.) Sometimes the [blank_start]sound[blank_end] [blank_start]quality[blank_end] is not as good as FM as the sound has been [blank_start]compressed[blank_end]

30. 30Infrared Radiation in Communications:
    Infrared radiation can be used to communicate over short distances, e.g. [blank_start]remote[blank_end] [blank_start]control[blank_end]s.
    In remote controls, the [blank_start]infrared[blank_end] [blank_start]light[blank_end] at the end of the remote flashes with a series of [blank_start]pulses[blank_end]. The TV has a [blank_start]sensor[blank_end] which [blank_start]detects[blank_end] this.
    
    Infrared radiation can also be used in:
    1.) [blank_start]Burglar[blank_end] [blank_start]alarms[blank_end]
    2.) [blank_start]Automatic[blank_end] [blank_start]security[blank_end] [blank_start]lights[blank_end]
