The Electromagnetic Spectrum AND Extra Credit!

This website is a great place to learn more about space: http://www.youtube.com/user/SpitzerJim.

Here's a video about infrared light and the electromagnetic spectrum...


Here's another video about the electromagnetic spectrum...


This video is weird and the story isn't cool, but it might help you remember the order of the electromagnetic spectrum.


Science experiment for extra credit...
1. Go get a spoon.
2. Look at yourself on both sides of the spoon (reflection).
3. Which side of the spoon is concave? Which side of the spoon is convex?
4. What happens when you look at yourself in a concave "mirror"? What happens when you look at yourself in a convex "mirror"?
5. Email me your answer. 10 points of extra credit on your science exam!

EXPERIMENT!!

CONCAVE SIDE OF THE SPOON IS THE SIDE WHERE WE TOOK THE SOUP (THE PART WHERE IS THE LIQUID)AND THE REVERSE ITS CONVEX.
WHEN I SEE ME ON THE CONCAVE SIDE OF THE SPOON THE REFLECT IS UPSIDE DOWN.
WHEN I SEE ME ON THE CONVEX SIDE OF SPOON THE IMAGE IS ELONGATED.

IN A MIRROR THE IMAGE WILL BE THE SAME BECAUSE THE ANGLE IS 90 DEGREES. WHEN THE ANGLE IS ACUTE -90 DEGREES THE IMAGE IS UPSIDE DOWN. WHEN THE ANGLE IS OBTUSE +90 DEGREES THE IMAGE IS ELONGATED.
