 | | Understand that the sun’s energy is transferred to Earth by electromagnetic waves, which are transverse waves. |
 | | Explain that electromagnetic radiation is arranged in the spectrum from the longest wavelength to the shortest. |
 | | Knows the range of the electromagnetic spectrum (e.g., radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, x-rays, gamma rays); electromagnetic waves result when a charged object is accelerated or decelerated, and the energy of the electromagnetic waves is carried in packets whose magnitude is inversely proportional to the wavelength |
