mathematician, predicted that radio waves might exist. Twenty years later, in 1887, Heinrich Hertz demonstrated electromagnetic waves by making radio waves. Examples of how radio waves are used in life are television, cell phones, and radios. Radio waves are invisible ripples of energy or electromagnetic radiation. They have wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum longer than infrared light, but shorter than x-ray waves. Radio waves have frequencies ranging from 3 KHz to 300 GHz and wavelengths ranging from one millimeter to 100 kilometers. An electromagnetic wave, or radio wave, is a fluctuation of electromagnetic field resulting from an electric charge moving back and forth. There are different types of electromagnetic wavelengths including microwaves, ultraviolet rays, radio rays, visible light rays, infrared rays, gamma rays, and x- rays. They lie on a spectrum based on frequency and wavelength. Slow oscillation on a charge or wave means that the wavelength is longer. Fast oscillation makes the wavelength shorter. Wavelength is measured from the top of one peak to the top of the next peak. Faster oscillation means there is more energy in the wave than if there is slow oscillation. All of these rays travel at the speed of light. The speed of light is about 300,000,000 meters/second. I think my experiment is related to earth science because of the electromagnetic rays going through a spectrum which gives us our light. The electromagnetic light rays pass through the atmosphere immediately diverging into many different light colors giving us certain phenomenons. One example of that is the northern lights you can see in Scandinavia and in lands close to the Arctic Circle. I wanted to do this experiment because I am constantly listening to my Bluetooth music player and I wanted to see how it all works. I know that when my phone is connected to the Bluetooth player and I walk out of my room, the music gets scratchy. I wanted to see what materials may have caused that. Also, because my family and I have so many activities, we are always going home and then going out again only to come back three hours later. That means a lot of garage door opening. I just wanted to understand more about that also. 1.Anissimov, Michael, and Bronwyn Harris. WiseGeek. Conjecture, n.d. Web. 02 Jan. 2015.
