EXERCISE B Return to the Chapter-Opening Question, page 625, and answer it again now. Try to explain why you may have answered differently the first time. We will meet various types of EM waves later. However, it is worth mentioning here that infrared (IR) radiation (EM waves whose frequency is just less than that of visible light) is mainly responsible for the heating effect of the Sun. The Sun emits not only visible light but substantial amounts of IR and UV (ultraviolet) as well. The molecules of our skin tend to “resonate” at infrared frequencies, so it is these that are preferentially absorbed and thus warm us. We humans experience EM waves differently depending on their wavelengths: Our eyes detect wavelengths between about \(4 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~m} \text { and } 7.5 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~m}\) (visible light), whereas our skin detects longer wavelengths (IR). Many EM wavelengths we don’t detect directly at all. Light and other electromagnetic waves travel at a speed of \(3 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\). Compare this to sound, which travels (see Chapter 12) at a speed of about \(300 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) in air, a million times slower; or to typical freeway speeds of a car, \(30 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) \(\text { (100 km/h, or } 60 \mathrm{mi} / \mathrm{h} \text { ), }\), 10 million times slower than light. EM waves differ from sound waves in another big way: sound waves travel in a medium such as air, and involve motion of air molecules; EM waves do not involve any material—only fields, and they can travel in empty space.
