THE BACKGROUND AND AN INTRODUCTION OF THE
ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM
A.THE BACK GROUND OF THE WORK.
This assignment is about Electromagnetic spectrum
and HOW each interval of electromagnetic spectrum used in monitoring the
Environment. In this Remote Sensing document the following concepts used in
(RS) are to be explained in details, The concept of Environments,
Electromagnetic spectrum's, Energy, Frequency, Wave length at the introductory
party of my task. And during main body am going to show in detail on How each
spectrum used in monitoring the environments at large.
AN INTRODUCTION
Ø THE
ENVIRONMENT,
According to Oxford Advanced Learner`s Dictionary (2014), Environment is the
natural world in which People, Animals, and Plants live. (Pg; 492).The environments are of three major categories such as
The land surface environment that include both manmade and natural features like land and soils
valleys, soil, walls, buildings, factories, vegetation cover, and People, all
these absorbs, emit reflect, refract
,waves in the spectrum. By, Reinhart.(2015.Pg;381)Full
spectrum analysis in environment monitoring.
Marine environment comprises water
charged particles, waves, and hydrological kingdoms or organisms. The
Atmospheric spheres that involves the layers of the atmosphere like
Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Ionosphere, exosphere and lastly
the Interplanetary spheres which include
other planets like Mars, Pluto, and
Jupiter. All these playing greater roles in the spectrum.
Ø THE
ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM (EMS)
Is the processes in which
electromagnetic waves travel through vacuum or through matter containing media
or in the environment like water, Atmosphere and surface. Electromagnetic
spectrum is the foundation of all information’s in the spectrum.
(EMS). explains in terms of energy,
frequency, and wave length, by NASA,(2010);Pg;3),Natural
Aeronaut us and Space Administration. NASA, Tour of Electromagnetic spectrum.
§ On
the surface EMS produced by any object or things like Electricity lamps,
cables, power stations, wires ,TV, remote control, heater oven waves, stones,
human skin, rocks, fire wood, volcanic eruptions, radar posit, telephones
posit, walls, plant`s leafs since everything around us emit, absorb, and
reflect EMS.
§ On
the atmosphere EMS produced by The sun, atmospheric particles, dusts, ozone
layer also absorb, burst of satellites, and also reflected by planetary bodies
beyond our Earth planet.
§ In
water bodies EMS emit, absorbed, and reflected by charged particles in water
waves, water have Electrical (+) magnetic and travel like water
waves, and marine physical features and
hydrological communities. By, NASA
(2010), the introduction to the
Electromagnetic spectrum ,(Pg;3/5)
Ø ENERGY
Is an ability to do work By Agga. S.(1983,Pg ;26/28), Principles of Remote Sensing. Energy
measured in Electrons (ev). Energy have
two forms that are Kinetic energy or motion energy like electrons, waves,
photons, when they move these energy they create an electromagnetic spectrums or fields.
According to NASA these field
transport electoral magnetic radiation EMR. On other form of energy is
potential energy that is static, stored power by batteries, chalks and fire
wood
Ø FREQUENCY
Refers the numbers of circles of waves passing a fixed point per unit of time. Frequency
measured in Hertz (Hz) equivalent to one circle per second and various
multiples of hertz. Frequency presented by symbol (V). By NASA (2010. pg ; 3/4) The Tour on Electromagnetic spectrum.
Ø WAVE
LENTH
Is the length of one circle which can be measured as
the distance between the successive wave
crests. It represented by letter Lambda (λ)
and it is measured in meter (M) and Nanometer (µm), by Natural resource Canada and Resources naturalness Canada (2010.Pg;7/8).
Wavelength is the distance between the crest and the
trough waves. EMS consist of Radio
waves, Microwaves, Infrared rays, Visible spectrum ,Ultraviolet
rays, X-rays and Gamma rays. The frequency of these interval electromagnetic
spectrum increases from Radio waves to Gamma rays, and wave length decreases
from Gamma ray to ward Radio waves By, Masunga.
N.
HOW THESE INTERVALS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM USED
IN MONITORING THE ENVIRONMENT
1. RADIO
AND TELEVISION (TV) WAVES.
Are the type of electromagnetic spectrum that that
have the longest wavelength and lowest frequency in the spectrum. By, Bhatta .B. (2012.Pg;9). Its frequency
range from (300GHz) to as slow as (3KHz) corresponding with wavelength ranging
from 1MM (0.039 in) to 10KM (62MIL). It travels at the speed of light.
SOURCES OF RADIO WAVES. Radio waves originating from
both Natural sources like Lighting and Astronomical objects like satellites, and The stars. Artificial sources
are like man-made satellites, Telephone posits, Television power stations and
The Blue tooth devices
Ø HOW
RADIO WAVES MONITORING THE ENVIRONMENT.
Radio
waves and TV waves monitoring the environment through controlling mobile
signals, broadcasting, example radio bands like FM, AM radio stations. radar, navigation systems, computer networks
and applications. All these provide crucial data for us about the environments.
Scientists Environmentalists, and The astronomers
used reflect ionosphere and to travel around the World
Therefore, Radio and TV wave facilitate much on
environmental monitoring and these enable as to take precautions toward
environmentally phenomena.
2. MICRO
WAVES (RADAR).
This interval starts after radio waves. Have high
frequency and low wave length compare to radio and TV waves in the spectrum
ranging from (1mm to 1m) length.
SOURCES OF MICROWAVE
Sofas, sensor, telephone, Y-five antenna, Radio few
to mentions.
TYPES OF MICRO WAVES.
v Active
microwaves, like Radar, Scatterotres, and Altimeter.
v Passive
microwaves, like those do not originate from natural satellites. Examples are
weather fore casting instruments for providing data for weathering.
By, Shefali . A. (2012.Pg;7) principles of remote sensing.
HOW MICROWAVE MONITORING THE ENVIROMENT
These monitoring environment through providing data
to environmentalists, like waves penetrate throughout clouds, dust, smokes, and
rains to review the earth’s surface.
Also GPS, in
cars penetrate the grass, canopy cover of the forest. This enable them to
measure soil moisture of the rain forests, in studying the Earth from space,
species dimensions. Help to monitor climatic changes like occurring of ELño,
nature of sea water, wind direction, migration of animals and adaptation of
marine organisms, nature and the color of the sky.
3. INFRARED RAYS.
These rays have high frequency compare to microwaves
and lower wave length than micro waves. This range from ( 0.7 to 300µm/nm)
SOURCES
OF INFRARED LIGHTS.
These mainly produced by Hot objects like the sun,
fire wood, volcanic eruptions and heaters. Others are remote control, fiber
optic cables. All these produce and use infrared lights. By,Finkenthal.B.& Halsey.R. (2014.Pg; 18).
Introduction to Electromagnetic spectrum.
TYPES
OF INFRARED LIGHTS
Near
Infrared ray (NIR) (0.7 to 1.5µm), Short
waves infrared ray (SWIR) ( 3 to 8µm and Long infrared wavelengths these
ranges (LWIR) from (8 to 15µm).
The NIR and SWIR are known as Reflected infrared and
the MWIR and LWIR are known as Thermal
infrared.
HOW INFRARED USED IN MONITORING THE ENVIONMENT
Infrared light monitoring the environment through
distinguishing clouds, ice, healthily vegetation-plants, snow, water contents,
soil moisture, soil boundaries, mapping geological information, monitoring land
and surface temperature changes, By, Menzel.p.(2006
Pg;230). Remote sensing Applications with Meteorological Satellites.
NIR, also allow scientist to study the environment
and its components like vegetations on how plant create its photosynthesis,
chlorophyll. Therefore infrared rays provide cue in formations to being and
enable to monitor our environments.
4. VISIBLE
LIGHT.
This portion of electromagnetic spectrum ranges
between (400nm to 700nm) Red. Have longer wave length and shorter frequency. It
consists a variation colors like Violet=(400 to 450nm), Indigo=(430 to
450),Blue =(450 to 500nm), Green =(500 to 570 nm), Yellow =(570 to 590nm),
Orange =(590 to 610nm) and lastly Red ranging between (610 to 700nm). The frequency
of this portion increases as you move from, violet to red color. By, Bauer.M. (2004. Pg;3). Remote Sensing
Geographical analysis.
HOW
VISIBLE RAYS USED IN MONITORING THE ENVIRONMENT
Monitoring TV lights, convert radio waves into
sounds, plant`s leaf color like green color with chlorophylls in leafs.
Also monitoring the image productions in deferent
media and these images again used by environmentalist to assess the
environmental impacts of particular region. It provide data for eclipse,
atmospheric pressure, heat budget, physical properties of a body, and wind direction as yellow sun rays reach
5500ϲ̊, scattered absorbed and
transferred.
5. ULTRAVIOLET
RAYS (UV).
This
wave have higher frequency and shorter wave length than visible portion. It is
invisible to naked eyes.
According
to Lincoln & Nebraska (2010).
UV, range between (1mm to 1µm),
TYPES
OF UTRAVIOLET RAYS.
o
HARD UTRAVIOLET, this range between (0.03 to 0.3µm) in this region no remote
sensing because most radiation scattered therefore wind destroy energy.
o
PHOTOGRAPHIC UTRAVIOLET, this rang from (0.3- 0.4µm) ,there
is remote sensing. Other types are UV-A, UV-B, UV-C.
HOW UTRAVIOLET RAYS USED IN MONITORING THE
ENVIRONMENT
Ø Ultraviolet
rays facilitate the study formation of new stars because young stars shine more
and reflected by UV.
Ø Studies
atmospheric temperature, Wind`s direction, surface pressure, existence of Light
beyond the Earth
Ø Medical
treatments in Hospitals.
Ø Tends
and stability of the Ozone layer and ozone layer`s window or hole.
Ø UV
used by scientist and environment to stud the impacts of Ultraviolet rays on
human skins and climate change. By Lincoln
& Nebraska. (2010). Introduction to remote sensing. (Pg;28)
6. X-RAYS.
These rays have much shorter wave length and higher energy compare to
Ultraviolet rays ranging from (0.03 to 3n). Its name depends on its higher
energies .By, Caldwell.A. ( 1999. Pg;2/3). Professional
handout for electromagnetic spectrum.
SOURCES OF X-RAYS
X-rays originate from pulsars, galactic supernova
remnants and the accretion disk of black hole, from objects in millions of
Celsius. By NASA (2010 Pg; 28) Tour
to the electromagnetic spectrums (EMS)
X-RAYS MONITORING THE ENVIRONMENT
THROUGH;X-lights provide Photons data from the sky by the use of Telescope,
these environment data helps in understanding the compositions, properties,
temperature ,and density of celestial environments due to higher energy and
abilities to penetrate of X-rays to other planets like Mars.Used in medical
treatments like bones , and show its impacts to our skin and other environment
components thus the data from X-rays
enable to take precaution. Air plane vocation and securing of bags and other
cargos. And geological explorations of rocks and minerals.
7. GAMMAR
RAYS
These produce short wavelength and highest frequency
than all in the spectrum. Its range is less than (0.3nm). Some times its waves
interact with radio waves, radars. Grammar ray produce cosmic rays.
THE GENESIS OF GAMMAR RAYS
.Grammar rays originates from cosmic rays, produced
by hottest objects in the universe like Neutron stars, pulsars, Supernova
explosion, the region around the black hole,
, Nuclear explosion, Lighting, and The less dramatic
activities of Radio decay.
HOW GAMMARAYSUSED IN MONITORING THE ENVIRONMENT.
Gamma rays used in exploration of exotic objects,
and enable to create and testing new environmental theories, examinations of
elements on other planets like mercury surface, collect environmental details
for space environment, geochemistry and
ranging (MESSENGER). To study geological elements like Hydrogen, magnesium,
Silicon, Oxygen, iron, sodium, titanium
and calcium, especially when cosmic lights fall to the ground into soil sphere,
these data also used to monitor micro life, suitability of soils. Gamma ray
also wash the sky with gamma lights. By,
NASA (2015. pg;28). Electromagnetic spectrum. The diagram bellow shows the general layout
of Electromagnetic spectrum. And how the frequency increasingly from Radio
waves to Gamma rays, and increasingly of wave length from Gamma ray to Radio
wave
Therefore each interval provides clear data that
used in monitoring the environment, taking cautions, modifying our nature to
live longer. to study the inter space environments, stars, planets, rocks,
communication networks, marine species,
plant health, sky nature, waves and frequencies of radio bands, TV, and
dependability of living things on and in
these portions of electromagnetic spectrums
