What do they all have in common?

• They can travel in a vacuum• They travel at 3 x 108m.s-1 in a vacuum (the

speed of light)• They are transverse• They are electromagnetic waves (electric

and magnetic fields at right angles to each oscillating perpendicularly to the direction of energy transfer)

Mini-book

• One type of EM wave for each page

• Each page should contain the wavelength and frequencies

• Each page should contain uses and other interesting information (including dangers)

• Attractive to look at (and funny?)

• Homework due Friday 29th January
