Understanding the Electromagnetic Spectrum: Transparency, Translucency, and Opacity

This overview of the electromagnetic spectrum defines key concepts of radiation and light. Radiation, including gamma rays, X-rays, and infrared rays, travels at the speed of light and exhibits various properties based on the spectrum. It also discusses transparency, the ability of materials like air and glass to allow light to pass; translucency, where light is diffused, exemplified by frosted glass; and opacity, which prevents light passage altogether, as seen in materials like paper and walls. Discover how these properties shape our daily experiences.

  1. Electromagnetic spectrum By Jonathan Moreland

  2. What it is! • This is basically level 1 of radiation. • This travels as fast as the speed of light because of the different types of photons. • most of the different kinds of scales for this are gamma rays x rays and infra red rays. The highest on the chart is microwaves because of the spectrum.

  3. The difference of the scales • Transparency Is the physical property of allowing light to pass threw a material. • Ex • Air • Water • Clear glass are all transparent objects in our daily life. • Glass as well • Translucency only allows light to pass through diffusely. • Ex. • Frost glass and some plastics are all translucent

  4. Opaque • Opaque is a substance that you cannot see threw and does not allow light to pass threw it. Our daily life is full of these objects • Ex • Paper • Our body • Vehicles • Buildings • walls

  5. How they are in my life • These are all in my life. The most common one I this is probably transparent because there are see threw things everywhere epically glass windows for buildings. • I honestly thinks these really helped me to know exactly watts in front of me,
