UNIT 2: FORCE, MOTION AND ENERGY
(The electric and magnetic phenomena around us)
Introduction
Each of the three Teacher’s Guide for the second quarter was written
to accompany the Learner’s Material in Grade 10 Unit 2 – Force, Motion and
Energy (The electric and magnetic phenomena around us). These include
introductory information such as the coverage, the content and performance
standards, the key questions and the learning competencies. Included also in
each guide are the science process skills, the preparation and procedure hints,
optional resources and materials, and the activity answers and sample data.
In most of the activity results, the underlying concepts and applications
can be found in the Learner’s Material. However, the principles and applications
of some activities are discussed in the Teacher’s Guide and not in the Learner’s
Materials. As a whole, the selected activities were designed to promote
enthusiasm in the teaching and learning of science through technology and
scientific inquiry.
The learners also have opportunities to design their own experiments,
pursue each, and extend their inquiries. These activities also have definite
results just like in structured activities, but the open enquiry can allow for
instructional accommodation and creativity suited to the needs of learners.
All modules in Unit 2 integrated the practical work approach and used
models for individual or group performances. The activities can be facilitated
usingvaryinginductiveanddeductiveapproachessothelearnerswillunderstand
the roles of force, motion and energy in the specific study of naturally occurring
magnets, electromagnets, moving charges, and the interaction of the electric
fields and the magnetic fields created by such matter. The nature, transmission
and uses of the ever present electromagnetic waves, especially light, will be
studied in great detail. There are three modules in this quarter, namely:
Module 1 - Electricity and Magnetism
Module 2 - Electromagnetic Spectrum
Module 3 - Light: Mirrors and Lenses

Content Standard Performance Standard
The Learners demonstrate an
understanding of the relationship
between electricity and magnetism in
electric motors and generators.
*The Learners shall be able to
assemble a simple model of the
relationship between electricity and
magnetism.
*For this module, there is no performance standard listed in the K to 12 Science Curriculum Guide.
In Grade 9 Science, the students located several power plants in the
Philippines and traced the conversions of energy in hydro power, geothermal
power, and coal-fired power plants. In general, the students learned how
electricity is generated in power plants. They also traced what happened to
the voltage during electric power transmissions and distributions.
In this module, the focus of study is on understanding the working
principles behind electric motors and generators common in power plants and
other important technologies. The students will explore the relationship between
electricity and magnetism through activities that will demonstrate the nature
of magnetism and the principles of electromagnetism and electromagnetic
induction. Thus, different electric and magnetic field patterns will be mapped
with its associated forces and directions.
This module is good for twenty to twenty three (23) one-hour sessions.
The activities were made simple making use of common materials and science
equipment intended for secondary schools in the country.
Specifically, at the end of Module 1, the students should be able to
answer the following key questions and use the learning objectives as guide:

Getting Hooked on Electricity and Magnetism
Applications
Traditional learning and teaching of the highly abstract electromagnetism
principles usually proceed deductively with theories being studied in activities
and lesson sequences. An alternative approach would be to help the students
see the important Science-Technology-Society-Environment (STSE) links
to what they inductively learn in school and in other learning venues and
opportunities.
Integrated in the Learner’s Materials were technology-based questions
and a sample enrichment output like the “Octo-Challenge Audio-Visual
Production (AVP) Using Electromagnetic Induction (EMI).” This was done to
ensure that students will continue to take interest in other practical applications
of electromagnetic induction aside from those applications in electric generators
and motors.
Posing the AVP challenge at the beginning of the module gives the
students a good head start in immersing positively into the module. Monitoring
the students’ progress in the enrichment activity will help both the learner and
teacher see the need to know the science behind the modern-day applications.
The AVP challenge can also be an avenue to showcase Philippine
National Celebrations as well as give the students a chance to show their
artistic talents at the end of the second quarter.
A sample AVP entitled “Ako’y Malaya (I Am Free)” – Noel Cabangon
Official Video” may serve as an inspiration for the AVP Challenge. This can be
viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1InDNE-rhM.

Principles of Electromagnetic Induction (EMI) in
Recording Systems
In recording systems and technology, whether analog or digital, magnetic
recording is the name of the game. In a magnetic recording of a music or
video input, the signal is converted into electrical signals via transducers like a
microphone.
It then passes through a magnetic recorder like the read/write head of a
video disc player, converting and recording the electrical signals into a magnetic
pattern on a medium like a laser disc or a cassette tape. During recording and
playback, the magnetic medium moves from the supply reel to the take-up reel.
Figure 1. Read/Write Head of (a) a Disc Player, and (b) a Cassette Tape Player (bottom)
The signals change the magnetic field that cuts through the head inducing
a changing electric current in the head relying on the speed and strength of the
magnetic field. The induced electrical currents are then amplified and sent
to an audio only or an audio-video monitor where another transducer, like a
speaker, changes the electrical signals to the desired output.

Activity 1
For the Record
This is a two-part activity that highlight the recording and/or the
broadcasting technologies as an old yet ever evolving popular application of
the relationship between electricity and magnetism known as electromagnetic
induction.
Teaching Tips:
PART A. Virtual Tour of a Radio Broadcasting Studio
(Suggested time allotment: 1 hour)
1. Use clear printed photos of a radio station control room and audio
room similar to those shown in the Learner’s Materials. Remind
the students to identify as much as they can the devices that use
electricity and/or magnetism. These will expose their conceptions on
current-carrying conductors and materials that exhibit magnetism.
2. Prepare to show ‘Radio Station Tour’ video clips that may be available
online similar to the clips cited below:
• Classic Broadcast TV Control Room at http://www.youtube.com/
watch?v=5zGr1d6IcRI
• Radio station studio tour at http://www.youtube.com/

• WFMY News 2 – Station Tour #2 – Newsroom and Receive at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pntVX0Wdb-U
3. If there is a nearby local radio-television station that accepts visit from
secondary school students, attend to the proper arrangements for (a)
permits, (b) allowed schedules, (c) available human resources, and
(d) safety measures. A tour of the other major components of a radio
station may be included, but is not a prerequisite activity for Part B.
4. Showing the video clips or an actual visit will surely help the students
with the technical terms, devices and functions. Plus there is that
exciting prospect of students being allowed to participate in live AVP
production and recordings in the radio station or the recording studio
being visited.

Teaching Tips:
PART B. My Own Home Recording Studio! For Life…
(Suggested time allotment: 1 hour)
1. This activity can be used as a Just-in Time Teaching home reading activity
if the previous activity is conducted through the use of pictures only. Let the
students read on the recording technology equipment that they are not yet
familiar with.
2. Primarily, this activity is meant to capture the interest and the inquiry on the
audio-recording EMI applications. Mastery of the technical terms and skills
in making an AVP comes secondary.
3. It would be wise to tap the students who have adequate ICT knowledge
and skills developed through Technology and Livelihood Education lessons
on hardware servicing and applications. Get them to identify or discuss
basic internal parts of AV recording devices that operates with the use of
electricity, magnetism or both.

Pressure Microphones
Working Principle of a Condenser
Microphone
- The varying sound pressure changes the spacing
between a thin metallic membrane and a stationary
plate, producing electrical signals which “copy” the
sound pressure.
Salient Features: Works with a wide range of sound
frequencies. Although expensive, it is considered as
the best microphone for recording applications.
Working Principle of a Dynamic Microphone
- The varying sound pressure moves the cone
diaphragm and the coil attached to it within a magnetic
field, producing an electromotive force that generates
electrical signals which “copy” the sound pressure.

Headphone
Working Principle of a
Headphone or an Earbud
- Wires carry the audio signal from
the stereo into the coil and back
again. The coil around the plastic
cone becomes an electromagnet
when current passes through it.
And because the coil is within a
magnetic field, a force is generated
on the coil. In response to the audio
signal, the coil moves together with
the flexible flat crinkly cone moving
the air within the headphone/earbud
enclosure and in the ear canal
producing sound.
Salient Features: Headphones and
earphones are small loudspeakers
clamped over the ear/s. Basically,
each speaker consists of stereo
wires, plastic cone diaphragms, coils
attached to the cone, and magnets
built inside cased or padded sound
chambers.

Working Principle of a
Studio Monitor or a Speaker
- The electric current imaging the
audio signal is sent through the coil
that is within the magnetic field. A
force is generated that moves the
magnet and the cone attached to it
producing the sound corresponding
to the analog or digital signal.
Salient Features: The studio
monitor is a dynamic reference
speaker designed to produce
an accurate image of the sound
source. Most hobby studio use the
active type studio monitor. It has
a built-in amplifier and functions
when plugged into an outlet and a
sound source. A dynamic speaker,
like the studio monitor, has the
same essential parts as a dynamic
microphone. But unlike the
microphone or headphone where
the voice coil is attached to the cone
diaphragm, on the studio monitor,
it is the permanent magnet that is
attached to the cone while the coil is
wound around a fixed core.

The microphone, computer unit, headphone, studio monitor, and the audio
interface are powered entirely or partially by electromagnetic induction.
Although audio cables may be affected by electromagnetic interference,
basically these are supposed to be shielded to work most effectively and do not
use electromagnetic induction to operate. Moreover, the digital audio software
is just a computer application on virtual studios, thus do not also operate on the
EMI principles

Both Activities A and B, show that most, if not all, of the devices in a recording
studio use electricity and magnetism.
SOME BASIC PRINCIPLES OF MAGNETISM
The Nature of Magnetism: Electricity’s Silent Partner
Magnetism is a property of a material that enables to attract or repel other
materials. The presence and strength of the material’s magnetic properties can
be observed by the effect of the forces of attraction and repulsion on other
materials. Its polarity, three-dimensional field form, strength, and direction can
also be detected by the deflection of a magnetic pointer within its field, like that
in a compass or the arrangement of iron filings in magnetic boards.
Amaterial’s individual protons and electrons are basically considered tiny
magnets due to the intrinsic magnetic moments of charges. But the magnetism
of an electron is a thousand times bigger than that of a proton. So in an atom,
the intrinsic magnetic field is mostly due to the ever-moving electrons in the half-
filled orbital shell where electrons are unpaired and their tiny intrinsic magnetic
moments point in the same direction, thus orbital magnetic field arise.
But not all materials that contain magnetic atoms in the half-filled region
of the Periodic Table become magnetic. Only atoms of metals such as iron,
nickel, and cobalt have half-filled shells that have many domains pointing mostly
in one direction. When these are placed within an external magnetic field, the
weaker domains unify with the stronger domains. These line up more uniformly
inducing greater magnetic field strength. Materials made from these elements
and its alloys are classified as ferromagnetic and make strong permanent
magnets.
Thus, magnets brought near materials that contain one of the
ferromagnetic metals will induce magnetism in the object and thus attract
it. Magnetic induction also makes iron filings and compass pointers align
themselves along the magnetic field lines that caused induction. The magnetic
field lines go out of the north-seeking poles and loops back continuously going
to the other south-seeking end of the magnet closing the loop inside out.

Activity 2
Test Mag . . . 1, 2!
Testing for Evidence of Magnetism
(Suggested time allotment: 1 hour)
Teaching Tips:
1. This activity and the next two activities may be done by students
working in small groups according to the available sets of materials.
For classes with limited materials and large groups of students, the
Interactive Lecture Demonstrations (ILDs) developed from Physics
Education Research works at the University of Oregon and at Tufts
University or its contextualized variations, may serve as an alternative
active teaching and learning strategy.
The Eight Step Interactive Lecture Demonstration calls for the
teacher to facilitate the description, demonstration (partially or
wholly), and discussion of the short activities. The students make,
record, discuss with others, and even modify their own predictions.
The teacher then completes the demonstration, while the students
observe, record results, discuss the science concepts involved and
finally relate understanding to different analogous physical situations.
2. A similar strategy known as the Predict-Observe-Explain (POE)
approach is an easier and more common way in giving students
a chance to give their predictions openly without regard of its
correctness, make observations during the demonstration, and
explain the correct principle learned based on their observation.
3. For parts of the activities that call for student-designed inquiry, the
teacher may facilitate student demonstrations of the most common
design in the class.
4. Remind also the students to use the magnets with care during the
activities without dropping or bringing them near materials that can
be affected by induced magnetism such as computer disks, monitors,
magnetic tapes, mechanical watches and the like.
5. Select pairs of bar magnets that are light and strong enough to
show considerably the forces of attraction and repulsion. Some
bar magnet’s forces of attraction or repulsion can only be felt by the
user’s hand but not observable for others to note.

farther from the other and when the
unlike poles are close enough, will
stick together closing the gap.
- The students may also place the
first magnet on a flat horizontal
surface and horizontally bring one
end of the second magnet near the
first magnet’s middle part OR move
the second magnet in circles over
the first.
- The first magnet may rotate towards
(for attractive forces) or away from (for
repulsive forces) the second magnet.

Answers to Questions:
Q7. What conditions with observable effects make magnets interact with
another magnet?
Magnets that are in good condition are strong enough to push or pull another
magnet close enough to it.
Q8. In general, what conditions with observable effects make magnets interact
with non-magnet objects?
Magnets, strong or weak, can be made to attract non-magnet objects that is
made of or has parts that are magnetic in nature such as those made of iron,
nickel, cobalt or its alloys.
Q9. What type of force/s can magnets exert on another magnet?
Magnets can both attract and repel other magnets. Like poles of magnets
when close enough will cause the magnets to repel each other, while unlike
poles of magnets that are close enough will cause the magnets to attract each
other.
Q10. What type of force/s can magnets exert on non-magnet objects with
observable effects?
Both poles of the magnet can attract non-magnet objects that have materials or
parts that are magnetic in nature.
Q11. How will you differentiate magnets from objects made of magnetic materials?
Only magnets can repel other magnets and already magnetized objects. But
non-magnetized objects made of magnetic materials can only be attracted by
a magnet.

Activity 3
Induced Magnetism
(Suggested time allotment: 1 hour)
Teaching Tips:
1. This activity may be done by students working in groups of three or
four with the teacher using the Interactive Lecture Demonstrations
(ILDs) or contextualized variations of it like the Predict - Observe -
Explain (POE).
2. Remind again the students to use the magnets with caution during
the activities without dropping these. The bar magnets in use need
not be of the same condition (strength, size, etc.) so as to maximize
individual engagement in this simple activity. If group results will
yield different numbers of magnetically induced nails being capable
of inducing further magnetism on other non-magnetized nails, it
would be a good source of comparison and inquiry groups can easily
discuss among themselves.
Answers to Questions:
Q12. What happens if you bring two iron nails close to (or touching) each other?
There is no observable effect in bringing two iron nails close to (or touching)
each other.
Q13. If you bring a bar magnet close to (or touching) the first iron nail, can the
first iron nail attract and lift a second nail? A third one?
A bar magnet brought close to (or touching) the first iron nail makes the first iron
nail capable to attract and/or lift a second nail and another or so depending on
the magnet’s strength.
Q14. What happens when you move the bar magnet far from the nails?
The first nail may still attract the second nail and another one or more depending
on the strength of the induced magnetism but not as strong as before when the
magnet was still close to (or touching) the first magnetized nail.

Q15. If the north pole of the bar magnet suspends by attracting the first screw
shown below, what is the screw’s polarity of induced magnetism in the
indicated regions? Why?
Figure 4. Magnetic induction on hanging screws with induced polarities.
The head of the first screw served as the magnetic south-seeking pole by
principle that unlike magnetic poles attract and like magnetic poles repel. Thus,
it can be said that the free end of the screw served as the magnetic north pole.
Sum it Up Challenge!
The process by which the screws become magnets is
called 1. magnetic induction This same process is the
reason why magnets 2. attract non-magnetized magnetic
substances such as the screw. The screw becomes 3. an
induced magnet with the end nearer the magnet having
4. an opposite polarity to that of the permanent magnet.
Hence attraction happens 5. after magnetic induction
occurs.

Activity 4
Detecting and Creating Magnetism
(Suggested time allotment: 1-2 hours)
Teaching Tips:
1. This activity may be done by students working in small groups of three
or four with the teacher using the Interactive Lecture Demonstrations
(ILDs) or contextualized variations of it like the Predict - Observe -
Explain (POE).
2. Remind the students to use with care and handle without dropping
the magnet, compasses, test tube and gadget with camera.
3. The bar magnets to be used should be strong enough to cause
effects on the (a) iron filings inside the test tube or straw and the
(b) compasses in use. Check also that the compasses are in
good condition with the needle compass still pointing to the north
geographic pole and not the other way around. If there are enough
compasses for all groups, set aside those that need to be magnetized
again to induce the correct polarities. If time permits, students may
be asked to resolve this concern as a check that indeed they can
apply magnetization by stroking to correct the polarities of magnetic
compass needles.
4. It would be best to have the students get use to orienting their
compasses along the geographic North-South alignment of the
compass needle prior to introducing the magnet into the activity
setup.
5. For some classes, there might be a need to review the parts of a
typical magnetic compass to remind the students that a compass
needle is a small magnet that is free to pivot in a horizontal plane
about an axis and that the end of the magnet that points to geographic
north is called the north (N) pole. Likewise, the opposite end of the
magnet is the south (S) pole.

Answers to Questions:
PART A. North meets south
Q16. What happens when you randomly move the bar magnet roundabout and
in circles above the compass one foot or farther? Nearer than a foot?
Answers will vary. Sample answers:
On exploration of the compasses ability to indicate the magnet’s strength:
• For button compasses: When the bar magnet was moved around
the compass one foot or farther away from the still compass on a
horizontal surface, the compass needle slightly deflected clockwise
or counterclockwise or nothing happened to it at all. For moving
the bar magnet in circles a foot or farther above the compass, the
compass needle slightly rotated in the same direction or nothing
at all.
• For button compasses: But when the bar magnet was moved
around the compass nearer than a foot from the compass, the
compass needle deflected clockwise or counterclockwise more
noticeably. For moving the bar magnet in circles nearer than a
foot above the compass, the compass needle rotated more easily
in the same direction as the rotating magnet.
• For bigger compasses that has magnetic needles twice as long
as that of the button compasses, the above observations are
much more noticeable even at a two - feet separation from the
same magnet. This suggests that the longer needle has greater
attractive or repulsive interaction with the magnet.
On exploration of the compasses ability to indicate the magnet’s polarity:
• For all noticeable deflections, when the north end of the bar magnet
is brought near the south end of the compass needle, the needle
is attracted and moves towards the magnet. So when the magnet
is moved around the compass in whatever direction, the compass
needle follows with it.
• But when the north end of the bar magnet is brought near the
north of the compass needle, the needle rotates away from the
magnet’s north end due to repulsion until the south end of the
compass needle is nearest the north end of the magnet.

Q17. Compass needles are tiny magnets that are free to indicate the north
and south poles of a magnet? What do you need to do to know the
magnet’s polarities?
Lay the magnet on a horizontal surface and place the button compass right
next to the magnet’s north end. The compass needle will point away from the
magnet’s north end.
Move the compass towards the south end of the magnet along the horizontal
surface and see the compass needle pointing towards the south pole of the bar
magnet.
Q18. What does the two compass needles indicate about the iron nail that is
shown below?
Figure 5. Compass needles for checking an object’s magnetism
through the presence of two opposite poles.
Because both compass needles are still aligned along the same North-South
geographic direction, it can be inferred that the non-polarized iron nail, though
magnetic in nature, has not yet been magnetized.

Answers to Questions:
Q19. Are the iron filings in the test tube or straw magnetized? If yes, which end
is the north and which is the south? If no, what else can be done to
magnetize it? Try and record your idea.
Yes, the iron filings inside the test tube/straw are magnetized. The iron filings
inside the test tube/straw were magnetized by stroking. The end of the test
tube/straw (cork/right end) was induced as the south-pole. The starting/left end
always have the same induced polarity as the polarity of the magnet’s end that
was used for inducing magnetism by stroking.
If no: Run additional strokes to induce stronger magnetism results. See to it that
at the corked/right end of the test tube/straw, the bar magnet is totally pulled
up and away slowly (detaching iron filings slowly from the straw/test tube’s
top side). Then the magnet is made to touch again the test tube/straw at the
starting (curved bottom)/left end. Do this until similar results for the magnetized
iron filings are observed.
The extension activity on magnetizing an iron nail by stroking has similar results
to the more visual magnetization by stroking of the iron filings inside the test
tube.

Activity 4
Oh Magnets, Electromagnets . . .
(Suggested time allotment: 2-3 hours)
Teaching Tips:
1. When needed, prepare in advance the improvised magnetic field
mapping apparatus commonly known as a magnetic board based on
an adaptation from the DepEd-NSTIC Improvised Projects Manual is
described below:
DepEd-NSTIC Project Concept of a Magnetic Field Mapping Apparatus
A magnetic field is a field of force produced by a magnetic object or
particle, or by a changing electrical field and is detected by the force it
exerts on other magnetic materials and moving electric charges. Magnetic
field sources are essentially dipolar in nature, having a north and a south
magnetic poles. Characteristics of a magnetic field around a permanent
magnet can be examined more closely by studying the pattern of
paramagnetic particles brought near the vicinity of the permanent magnet.
Materials:
Quantity Specifications
1 pc - clear, flat rectangular plastic containers (100 ml)
100 ml - tap clear water or glycerin
5 g - bargaja / iron sand or iron filings
Procedure:
A. Gather dark beach sand using a strong magnet placed inside a plastic. If
this is not possible, use the common available iron filings. Place these on a
cheese cloth before running tap water over until the water washings come
out clear.
B. Fill the empty flat bottle with tap water to the brim and add a pinch of washed
iron sand or filings. Put the cap and shake the bottle.
C. Add more iron sand or filings until there are enough iron sand/iron filings
that will give a distinct field pattern when the magnetic board is placed on
top a magnet.

Figure 9. Improvised magnetic board using enclosed iron filings and water.
2. The use of iron sand is better than the iron filings. Iron filings will rust
through time as these oxidize in water. If there are no more activities
that call for the use of magnetic boards, drain out the water and iron
filings from the plastic container so the container will not be colored
stained over time by the rusting filings inside if not removed.
3. Iron sand works best in glycerin (which is costlier than baby oil) while
the lighter iron filing particles work best in water. Light iron filings
in glycerin or baby oil usually move in clumps inside the magnetic
board.
4. This activity may be done and answered by students working in
groups according to the number of available sets of materials. Group
members may work in pairs on an agreed part of the activity so the
use of materials and engagement of the members are maximized.
5. For classes with limited materials, rotational learning materials and
set ups in good condition may be prepared by the teacher, so all
groups get to do all parts of the activity.
6. Remind the students again to use and handle the different kinds
of magnets, button compasses as well as the magnetic board
(improvised or not) without dropping any of these. The low-cost
commercial latch magnets more known, as refrigerator magnets, can
be bought from bookstores or craft shops.
7. The neodymium magnet is many times stronger than the ordinary
disk magnet that can hold papers on refrigerator doors. Remind the
students to be careful not to get their fingers pinched between this
kind of magnet and other magnetic materials.

their set up and observe also along the North-South alignment of the
compass needle.

Answers to Questions:
Q21. How will you describe and explain the magnetic field of a latch/refrigerator
magnet?
Most refrigerator magnets will show an alternating pattern of bands formed
by the iron filings inside the magnetic board similar to the ones in Figure 10a.
The dark bands are created by a concentration of iron filings aligning along
magnetic field lines. This is suggestive of a net force of attraction present
between unlike poles. On the other hand, the lighter bands are created by the
absence of iron filings/magnetic field lines suggestive of a net force of repulsion
present between like poles.
Q22. How do you relate the flapping interactions of the latch magnets at
different orientations to their magnetic domains?
The moving up of the top latch magnet below suggests a net force of repulsion
between the two touching ends of the latch magnet. At that instant, it moves
up as shown in Figure 11a. The moving down of the top latch magnet suggests
a net force of attraction between the two ends of the latch connecting back as
shown in Figure 11 (right).

Figure 11. The top magnet moves up due to repulsive forces (left). The top
magnet moves down due to attractive forces (right). A continuous light drag
from end to end produces the flapping motion.
The flapping effect is greatly evident when the two latch magnets are made to
move past each other with their magnetic field lines oriented parallel to each
other, and least, if none at all when in perpendicular as shown in Table 6.

Answers to Questions:
Q23. How would you describe and compare the magnetic field patterns on Table 7?
•	 In general, the iron filings that align along the magnetic field lines concentrate
most near the poles. The lines from one pole flow outside a magnet or
a paramagnetic source and enters the other end, going back inside the
magnet to form close loops generally referred to as lines of force.
•	 The magnetic field patterns of an electromagnetic nail, a current carrying
straight conductor, and a current carrying coil are similar to that of the single
bar magnet.
•	 The magnetic field pattern between the poles of a U-shaped magnet
resembles the field pattern between unlike poles of two bar magnets.
•	 If the two bar magnets with two unlike poles which are close in between is
brought together, the magnetic field pattern will resemble that of the single
bar magnet. Lines from one pole enter the other pole.
•	 The magnetic field pattern between two north poles of two bar magnets
resemble the magnetic field pattern between two south poles of two bar
magnets. Lines from one pole bend away from the lines flowing out or
flowing into the other pole.
•	 Both the disk magnet and the neodymium magnet have radial magnetic
field lines. The iron filings surrounding radially the disk magnet is less
concentrated than the radial magnetic field lines surrounding the neodymium
magnet which is many times stronger.
•	 Because of the neodymium’s strength, it pulls more iron filings towards it,
pulling even those that are already far, making a region where the forces
between magnetically induced iron filings are weaker than the neodymium
magnet’s pull on them. Thus, there is a space without iron filings anymore.
•	 The latch or refrigerator magnet has parallel alternating magnetic field
bands. The dark bands of concentrated iron filings are wider than the bands
almost.

Q24. How do the magnetic field patterns shown on the magnetic board indicate
the strength of the magnets?
The stronger the magnetic field is, the more concentrated or closer the magnetic
lines of force are. There, the greater the force magnetic objects feel. In these
regions, the greater magnetic force of induction is experienced by the iron
filings that align along the magnetic field lines.
When the lines are uniform, the magnetic field strength is also uniform. So,
at the poles where magnetic field lines flow out or flow into, the magnetic field
strength is not uniform. It is the strongest where the lines are closest.
Q25. How do the magnetic field patterns indicate the forces of interaction
between magnets?
The lines between like poles bend away from each other then goes back
towards the other end to form close loops inside out, never meeting. On the
other hand, the lines between unlike poles flow out from one end and enter the
other end.
Furthermore, the region between two unlike poles have concentrated lines
showing the forces of attraction between
Q26. How will you use the button compasses to trace the magnetic field
direction and the kind of forces present in the field?
•	 Place a button compass over the geometric center of a magnet, say a bar
magnet, and move it along the iron filings alignment towards a pole. The
compass needle points out from the north-pole end of the magnet.
•	 Outside the magnet, the compass needle moving along the close loops of
iron filings, ends up pointing to the south-pole end.

2. These simulations can easily be downloaded and made available for
science classes. If it is possible, make arrangements regarding the use
of the school’s computer laboratory facilities. With the next two activities,
the class will be using the PhET simulation programs (and many more
activities you plan to). It would be a great help to navigate and explore the
different simulations available for the study of electricity and magnetism.
3. In this activity, you will empower your students ICT-wise as they explore
the electric field lines and the corresponding directions associated with the
negative and positive individual charges and combinations of charges.
4. The simulations can also be shown to the whole class via projector but
observations and activity output will be individually done.

Activity 5, point out that the results for the bar magnet field patterns
would be the same. The difference lies on the clear close loops
that can be simulated here compared to the actual discontinuous
alignment of iron filings shown on the magnetic board.
2. The discontinuous lines do not mean that the magnetic field lines are
broken. It is just that the pull of the magnet on the iron filings near
it is greater than the forces induced on iron filings particles by other
iron filings next to it.

6. In this activity, a simulation of the earth’s magnetic field pattern and
magnetic poles can be shown relative to the geographic pole. Although it
is part of Table 7M, it is the only non-answer choice included. But with this
feature the students can relate the actual use of a magnetic compass in
finding geographic locations. So this simulation part is worth exploring by
the students.
Activity 8
Magnetic Field Around Current-Carrying Conductors
(Suggested time allotment: 2 hours)
Teaching Tips:
1. In these experiments, current is sent through a straight and a looped
conductor. The students will then observe the response of the
compass needle at selected locations around the wire. Each set-
up being observed is best assembled and started with the compass
needle aligned along the North-South geographic direction.

2. For each location, emphasize to the students that they study carefully
how the compass needle is oriented with respect to the copper wire
and the direction of current. Emphasize also the need to close the
switch only long enough for observations.
3. The short wire and the low current input from the batteries will not be
strong enough to show a full clockwise or counterclockwise deflection
of the compass needle. Nonetheless, in two of the four locations,
the compass needle will be observed as pointing to a clockwise or
counterclockwise deflection. Better results can be observed with the
use of a 1-m long wire and a 2-3 A direct current from a variable
power supply.
4. Introduce the hand rules to your students when needed, and only
after the students have recognized that a direct current in a wire will
generate a magnetic field, the direction of which, depends on the
current’s direction.
Figure 14. The right-hand rule for conventional current (from positive to
negative): Grasp the (a) straight or (b) looped conductor such
that the right thumb points in the direction of conventional current.
The other fingers point or curl in the direction of the induced
magnetic field.
5. Using the right-hand rule, the direction of the magnetic field follows
the direction of the right hand fingers when the right thumb points in
the direction of the conventional current (from positive to negative).
Conversely, using the left-hand rule, the direction of the magnetic
field follows the direction of the left hand fingers when the left thumb
points in the direction of the real flow of current (from negative to
positive).

Answers to Questions:
PART A. Magnetic Field around a Straight Conductor
Q27. From a top-view perspective, in what direction does the north pole of the
compass needle point to when the compass was positioned around the
vertical current-carrying straight conductor?
With conventional current moving up the vertical wire, the north pole of the
compass needle point counterclockwise about the wire.
Figure 15. With the circuit close, conventional current is sent up the straight
conductor causing a counterclockwise rotation of the compass needle about
the wire.
Q28. From a top-view perspective and with the current’s polarity reversed,
in what direction does the north pole of the compass needle point to when
the compass was positioned around the vertical current-carrying straight
conductor?
With conventional current moving down the vertical wire, the north pole of the
compass needle point clockwise about the wire.
Figure 16. With the circuit close in (b) and (c), conventional current is sent
down the straight conductor causing a clockwise rotation of the compass
needle about the wire.

PART B. Magnetic Field around a Coil of Conductor
Q29. From a top-view perspective, in what direction does the north pole of the
compass needle, at the center of the current-carrying coil of wire, point?
Figure 17. (a) The north pole of the compass needle points north when the
circuit is open and no current flows in the coiled wire. (b) The north pole of the
compass needle points south when the circuit is close and current flows in the
coiled wire.
Following the right-hand rule, grasp the farthest loop of the coil from the positive
end of the coil, with the right thumb in the direction of the conventional current.
Note that the direction of the curled fingers point south.
Q30. From a top-view perspective, in what direction does the north pole of the
compass needle, at the center of the current-carrying coil of wire, point
when the current’s polarity was reversed?
With current flowing in reverse, the compass needle now points north.
Q31. How will you compare the magnitude of the compass needle deflections
for the different number of loops in the current-carrying coil?
A decrease in the number of loops in the coil, means a shorter wire and a
weaker magnetic field, causing less noticeable, compass needle deflections.

Q32. If you will straighten the shortened coil of wire, how will you compare
the magnitude of the compass needle deflection, at the center of
the previous current-carrying coil, to the present current-carrying straight
conductor? Why?
The magnetic field increases in direct proportion to the number of turns/loops
in a coil. Thus, the compass needle, at the center of the coil of wire, deflects
more than the compass needle about a straight wire.
Extending Inquiry – A solenoid (a coil of wire in which the length is greater than
the width) was made using a 3-meter long magnetic wire wound clockwise from
left to right around the iron rod. Current was then made to flow through it using
a circuit similar to what is shown to Figure 11 a.
Q33. What would be the direction of the magnetic field around the current-
carrying solenoid when the switch is closed?
With the current flowing counterclockwise from the positive end to the negative
end, the magnetic field around the current-carrying coil enters the positive end
of the coil and leaves the negative end.
Q34. Using arrows, draw the magnetic compass needle directions at the
indicated locations in Figure 11b. Then indicate which ends of the
solenoid acts similar to the north and south poles of a bar magnet.
The positive end of the current-carrying coil acts similar to a south pole of a bar
magnet while the negative end acts similar to a north pole.
(a) (b)
Figure 18. The north pole of the compass needle points into the positive end
of the current-carrying coil and points out of negative end of the coil.

Activity 9
Homopolar Motors
Making your own Faraday’s Electric Motor
(Suggested time allotment: 2-3 hours)
Teaching Tips:
1. This is a do-it-yourself activity on a simple electric motor that makes
use of 2 or 3 neodymium magnets. Each one much stronger than the
ordinary disk magnets. These magnets are part of the Basic Science
Materials and Equipment made available in most public secondary
schools.
2. Make sure that the students do not play with these kind of magnets
because it can cause blood blisters on fingers or skin sandwiched
between two such magnets. Caution the students to slowly allow the
magnets to come together, taking care no finger gets pinched! If the
magnets snap on each other by proximity, they may chip or break.
3. Caution also the students to watch out where they place these strong
magnets. These could erase recorded memories on magnetic tapes,
computer disk drives, magnetic cards or distort signals on TV screen,
computer monitors or loosen parts of mechanical watches.
4. Ensure also that the students remove the battery as soon as the
rotation effect on the mounted conducting wire is observed. These
could get hot.
Answers to Questions:
Q35. What happens to the shaped wire once positioned over the battery’s
positive terminal and with both wire ends curled loosely touching the
magnets?
With the shaped wire positioned over the battery and with its ends curled
loosely about the neodymium magnets, a closed circuit is formed. Current
flows through the wire which starts to move, slowly at first, and then rotating
faster. The gentle spin may be needed to jump start only the rotational effect
caused by an adequate electromagnetic force present when charges in the
wire move within the neodymium magnet’s field.

Q36. What additional observations about the electric motor model were you
able to experience?
Answers may vary. For strong neodymium magnets and preferably a thicker
wire shaped differently, it is possible to hold the shaped insulated wire on air
and allow the battery to rotate instead of the wire.
Q37. What will happen if the number of neodymium magnets used is varied?
Decreasing the number of neodymium magnets will take a longer time for
the current-carrying wire to rotate at a slower rate (or not at all), because of
the weaker electromagnetic force (or not at all for the removal of all magnets)
produced within the weaker magnetic field.
Q38. What are the basic parts/elements of a simple electric motor?
The basic parts/elements of a simple motor are the following: moving charges
in a conductor within the influence or region of a magnetic field.
Q39. Based on the activity, how will you explain the operation of a simple
electric motor?
An electric motor is simply a device that uses electrical energy to do rotational
mechanical work or is a device that converts electrical energy into rotational
mechanical energy.
In this activity, a simple DC motor was assembled using a single coil that rotates
in a magnetic field. The direct current in the coil is supplied via two brushes
(ends of the shaped wire) that make a moving contact with a split ring (During
rotations, from time to time, the ends of wire alternately disconnect from their
touch with the disc magnet). The coil lies in a steady magnetic field provided by
the neodymium magnets. The electromagnetic forces exerted on the current-
carrying wire creates a torque (rotation-causing force) on the coil (rotor).

current on the shaped wire, the magnetic field by the neodymium magnets and
the electromagnetic force causing the rotation.

The rotation can also be considered in terms of the coil becoming an
electromagnet that has one side behaving like a north pole and the other
side behaving like a south pole. As with all magnets that interact, the pile of
neodymium magnets under the electromagnetic coil attracts the opposite pole
in the coil and repels the like pole in the coil, causing the coil to spin.
In real motors, the parts, its geometry, assembly and operation is complex, but
the operation of these devices work on the same principle: a magnetic field
affects the charges in a conductor creating an electromagnetic force.

Activity 10
Let’s Jump In!
(Adapted from cse.ssl/.berkeley.edu/III/lessons/IIIelectromagnetism/mag_

(Suggested time allotment: 1-2 hours)
Teaching Tips:
1. This is an activity preferably done outside on a level surface, 6m x
6m area (at the least) using 10 to 20 meters of long flat wire (double
wire, stranded, AWG #22, and commonly used for simple extension
wires) available in local hardware or electrical stores.
2. If the galvanometer is unavailable, try to use an improvised
galvanometer similar to what is shown in Figure 20. Wind a longer
wire for a more sensitive current-detecting device. Find a way to
make sure the improvised galvanometer will not be moved easily
during loop movements.
Figure 20. An improvised galvanometer can be made by looping enough
length of wire around a compass fitted into a used rubber mat.

3. WiththeEarth’smagneticfieldreadilyavailableatalltimes,andaresourceful
effort to procure the long conductor, a sensitive functioning galvanometer
and a compass is all it takes to have this fun activity. Just ensure that the
galvanometer will be used with care and must be connected in series to the
long conductor.
4. Although results can be observed even without the students jumping over
the rotated looped conductor, students taking turns in observing and having
fun during the activity will likely lead to higher learning gains. (Special

California, Berkeley who work to increase diversity in Earth and Space

Answers to Questions:
Q40. What effect does rotating a part of the loop have on the galvanometer?
When a portion or half of the length of the loop is rotated, the galvanometer
(or the compass needle for the improvised galvanometer) deflects either side
of the zero mark or the original direction. This indicates a flow of current
along the long loop. The needle then returns to the zero point mark for the
galvanometer (or the original geomagnetic orientation in the location.
Q41. What effect does the rotational speed of the loop have on the generated
electric current?
The faster the rotation, the greater is the galvanometer needle’s deflection
indicating greater amount of charges flowing in the rotating loop of conductor.
Q42. Which condition or its combination would result to the greatest generated
electric current? Smallest current? No current reading?
The greatest generated electric current as indicated on the galvanometer
needle’s greatest deflection is when the longest possible single length of coil,
aligned along the East-West direction, is rotated the fastest in either a clockwise
or counterclockwise manner.
While, the smallest generated electric current as indicated on the galvanometer
needle’s least deflection is when the shortest possible single length of coil,
aligned along the North-South direction, is rotated the slowest in either a
clockwise or counterclockwise manner.

On the other hand, there is no electric current generated as indicated on the
galvanometer needle’s non-deflection when the both half-length of wire is
rotated in whatsoever alignment, direction, length, speed in both the clockwise
or counterclockwise rotation. Rotating both half-lengths in the same direction
within the same magnetic field influence by the Earth results to opposing
induced electromotive forces ending in a zero net movement of charges along
the close loop of conductor. Thus, no current is generated,
Q43. Why does the geographical alignment of the rotating jump wire affect the
galvanometer reading?
The Earth acts like a huge magnet similar to a bar magnet. Its magnetic South-
pole is about 1200 km away (offline) from its geographic South-pole. When
the loop is rotated along the North-South alignment, the looped conductor cuts
the magnetic field lines less frequently than when it is rotated perpendicular to
the Earth’s magnetic field. More magnetic field lines cutting across the same
length of conductor induces greater electromotive force hence greater current
detected by the galvanometer.
Q44. What are the basic components of the jump wire electric generator?
The jump wire electric generator consists of a closed loop of conductor moving
within a magnetic field. Any relative motion between the charges in the
conductor and the magnetic field by the Earth gives rise to an electromotive
force that when big enough will cause free electrons in the conductor to move
through the loop.
Q45. How will you explain the operation of a simple electric generator?
A simple electric generator is made when a coil or any closed loop of conductor
moves through or cuts across magnetic field lines. The coil will experience an
induced voltage or electromotive force and cause current to be generated.
Extending Inquiry. Identify and describe the different basic parts of the generator
model shown in the figure on the next page.

Figure 21. Basic parts of an electric generator model.
The armature is a coil of wire that serves as a rotor. It is surrounded by magnets
that serve as stators. When the hand wheel is rotated, the armature also rotates
via the belt that connects the hand wheel and the shaft it is attached to. The
coil of wire then cuts across the steady magnetic field lines surrounding the
pair of magnets. On the other side, the armature is also connected to a split
ring commutator that makes the generated current (DC) output to flow in one
direction. The commutator in turn is connected to the power source terminal
via the brushes.
Q46. How will you show that the generator model still functions?
An ammeter or a test bulb connected to the power source terminals will serve
as indicator of the generator output. Rotating the handwheel should produce a
current reading on the ammeter or cause the test bulb to glow proportionate to
the generated current.

Activity 11
Principles of Electromagnetic Induction
(Adapted from the DepEd-NSTIC Activity on Faraday’s Law of Induction)
(Suggested time allotment: 1-2 hours)
Teaching Tips:
1. Learners can wind the coils around cardboard tubes or plastic
bottles. A wider 10-turn coil can be made out of a 180 cm wire wound
around a 350 ml plastic bottle as guide. A 20 or 22 gauge insulated
copper wire can also be used instead of the hook/connecting wire.
Commercially made coils are also available.
2. Help the students recognize that, whereas in Activity 9, the principle
of the electric motor was demonstrated in the conversion of electrical
energy to mechanical energy within a magnetic field, the conversion
of mechanical energy to electric energy within a magnetic field is the
principle of the electric generator as demonstrated in Activity 10 and
11.
3. Electromagnetic induction is the process in which electric current is
generated in a conductor by a moving or changing magnetic field.
Help the students realize that both in Activity 10 the conductor is
being moved within a magnetic field while in Activity 11 it is the
source of magnetic field that is being moved relative to the steady
conductor. Current was generated in both activities.
4. Lead the class in recalling their activity observations and
understanding of the concept that the magnetic field is strongest at
the pole where the magnetic field lines are closest and thus, the
magnetic field weakens as distance from the poles increase.

Answers to the Activities and Guide Questions:
Q47. How will you explain the deflection or non-deflection of the
galvanometer pointer as observed in the activity?
The pointer deflects when current is induced in a closed circuit conductor within
a changing magnetic field. A changing magnetic field is produced when there
is relative motion between a source of a magnetic field and a conductor; it does
not matter which moves. This change in the magnetic field strength in the coil
region occurs as the magnet is moved towards or away from the coil.
The absence of a changing magnetic field cutting across the closed circuit
conductor or the absence of the field’s motion relative to the conductor results
to non-deflection of the galvanometer’s pointer. On the other hand, the mere
presence of a magnetic field that is at rest relative to a closed circuit conductor
will also not induce current.
So in the activity, moving the magnet into or out of the coil, caused the pointer
to deflect during either movement. The needle of the galvanometer gradually
returned to the zero mark and stayed undeflected when the magnet was at rest
relative to the coil.
Q48. How will you compare the directions of deflection? Why do you think
this is so?
The galvanometer pointer at the center of the scale, deflects in one direction
when the magnet was moved into the coil and in the opposite direction when
the magnet was pulled out.

As the north pole of the magnet is moved downwards (approaching the top end
of the coil), the top end behaves like a south pole, and then reverses when
the magnet is pulled out. An induced current in the conductor behaves in such
a direction that its magnetic properties oppose the magnetic field change that
induces the current.
Q49. For approximately the same speed of moving the magnet into or out of
each coil, what happens to the magnitude of the pointer’s deflection as
the number of turns in the coil increase?
For approximately the same speed of moving the magnet either into or out of
the coil, the galvanometer pointer deflect more with greater number of turns in
the coil.
Q50. For approximately the same speed of moving the magnet into or out of
the 15-turn coil, what happens to the deflection of the galvanometer
pointer as the number of bar magnets (strength of magnetic field)
increase?
For approximately the same speed of moving the magnet either into or out
of the 15-turn coil, the galvanometer pointer deflect more with the use of two
magnets compared to a single source of magnetic field.
Q51. What happens to the deflection of the galvanometer pointer as the bar
magnet is moved into or out of the 15-turn coil at different speeds (rate
of magnetic field change)?
The galvanometer pointer deflect more when the magnet is moved into or
out of the 15-turn coil at a faster speed causing a greater rate of change in
magnetic field strength. As the magnet’s north pole comes closer to the coil,
the magnetic field becomes stronger with more field lines cutting through the
coil. As the magnet’s north pole pass the coil moving farther, less field lines
reach the coil and the field weakens. The faster this movement is done, the
greater is the rate at which the magnetic field strength changes and the greater
is the induced current.
Q52. How would you compare the galvanometer pointer’s deflection when the
magnet moves along the coil and when the magnet moves across the coil?
When the magnet was moved parallel or along the coil, the galvanometer
pointer barely deflected if it will deflect at all as compared to the galvanometer
pointer’s clear deflection when the magnet was moved perpendicular or across
the coil. No current will flow when there is no magnetic field line that cuts
through the wire.

Q53. In your own words, what are the factors that affect the amount of current
and voltage (EMF) induced in a conductor by a changing magnetic field?
The magnitude of induced current and voltage (electromotive force) vary
depending on the number of turns or length of conductor, the strength and
orientation of the magnetic field, and the speed at which the flux lines cut
across the wire or the rate at which the magnetic field moves relative to the
conductor.
Q54. An equation for the electromagnetic force (EMF) induced in a wire by a
magnetic field is EMF = BLv, where B is magnetic field, L is the length of
the wire in the magnetic field, and v is the velocity of the wire with respect
to the field. How does the results of this activity support this equation?
From Ohm’s Law, if resistance is constant, the current is proportional to
the voltage (EMF). This activity showed that the induced current is greater
with more number of turns (longer length L), with more magnets (stronger
magnetic field B), and with greater rate of movement (greater velocity of the
magnet with respect to the coil v). Thus the induced voltage or electromotive
force is also greater, supporting the equation EMF = BLv.

Extending Inquiry. Atypical transformer has two coils of insulated wire wound
around an iron core. This device changes the AC voltage of the primary coil
by inducing an increased or decreased EMF in the secondary coil. In practical
applications, why does this device operate only on alternating current and not
on direct current?
An alternating current in the primary coil causes a changing magnetic field
in the iron core. The changing field moves over the loops in the secondary
coil inducing current and an EMF in this coil. Direct current drawn into the
transformer will not induce current because it only produces a constant
magnetic field. Momentarily, current will be induced only at that instance that
the transformer using direct current is switched on or off, which of course has
limited applications such as in the mosquito killer racket.

Overview
The concepts of electricity and magnetism and their interconnectedness
were introduced in Module 1. In this module, we focus on the different
electromagnetic waves, their properties and their uses in the society.
Electromagnetic waves, like any other waves, carry energy. It is
discussed in this module how different kinds of this energy are utilized. These
waves are used from simple listening to a radio to the highly technological
treatment of cancer in the aim to save lives. However, it is inevitable that some
of these waves may harm to living things and to the environment. It is therefore
important to study and understand these waves so we could maximize their
uses and find ways to minimize the negative effects that they may bring.
At the end of module 2, the Learners should be able to answer the
following questions:
Content Standard:
The learners shall demonstrate an understanding of:
• the different regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.

(Adapted from APEX Physics LP Chapter 3 Lesson 3: Student Activity 3a: The
Electromagnetic Theory)
Recall that waves transfer energy and that mechanical waves need a medium to
travel. Compare and contrast Mechanical Waves and Electromagnetic Waves.
Electromagnetic Waves
We are surrounded with thousands of waves. Waves collide with our
bodies and some pass through us. Most of these waves are invisible but we
can perceive some. The warmth of the sun and the light that we see are just a
few of them. These waves share similar characteristics, yet, they are unique in
some ways. These waves are called Electromagnetic Waves.

Electromagnetic waves are different from mechanical waves in some
important ways. Electromagnetic waves are disturbance that transfers energy
through a field. They are also referred to as EM waves. They can travel through
medium but what makes them strange is that they can also transmit through
empty space.
Radiation is the term used to describe the transfer of energy in the form
of EM wave. For a mechanical wave to travel, it must vibrate the medium as it
moves. This makes use some of the waves’ energy. In the end, it makes them
transfer all energy to the medium. As for EM waves, they can travel through
empty space or vacuum so they do not give up their energy. This enables EM
waves to cross great distances such as that from the sun to the Earth (which is
almost vacuum) without losing much energy. In vacuum, EM waves travel at a
constant speed of 300 000 000 meters per second. At this rate, the rays of the
sun take 8 minutes to reach the Earth.
Electromagnetic waves can also transmit with a material medium. They
can also transfer energy to the medium itself. When they interact with matter,
their energy can be converted into many different forms of energy. With these
characteristics, electromagnetic waves are used for a wide variety of purposes.
For demonstration purposes, the teacher may conduct the following
activity to show the learners that Electromagnetic waves characterize similar
movement as that of the mechanical waves when they encounter a barrier.

2. Position the mirror at an angle with which it could reflect the waves
from the remote control to the TV.
3. Turn the TV on and off by aiming the remote control at the mirror.
Guide Questions:
Q1. How did you have to position the remote control in order to turn the TV on
and off?
Answer: The remote control should be aimed at the mirror such that the incident
beam strikes it at an angle that will direct the reflected beam towards the TV.
Q2. What does this indicate?
Answer: It indicates that EM waves can also be reflected just like mechanical
waves.

Radio Waves
Radio waves are the EM waves found at the left end of the EM spectrum
(arranged from low frequencies to high frequencies). They are the type of EM
waves with the longest wavelength but they are of low frequencies thereby
carrying the lowest energy from among the EM waves.
Radio waves have the following characteristics:
1. Not line of sight
2. Can pass through walls
3. Longer range
4. Not light sensitive
Some of the disadvantages of radio frequencies include:
1. Communication devices that make use of the same frequencies
interfere with their transmission.
2. It is easier to “eavesdrop” since signals are transmitted in space
rather than a wire.
3. More costly than infrared
Teaching Tips:
1. Let the learners perform the following three activities involving radio
waves.
2. This will make them understand the characteristics of radio waves.
3. Facilitate their learning through post lab discussions.

water molecules in the form of heat. This will cook the food.
Extension of Learning:
Let the learners research on the negative effects of Low Frequency
Waves to people and to the environment and discuss it in class.
Infrared
In the 1800, famous astronomer Sir Frederick William Herschel
discovered a form of radiation other than the visible light. He discovered the
infrared radiation through a similar activity. He let sunlight pass through a glass
of prism and dispersed it into a rainbow of colors called the color spectrum. He
was interested in the temperature of the different colors. He then placed the
thermometer just beyond the red color and found out that the temperature was
even higher. He then concluded that there is a kind of radiation that our eyes
can see, hence, the infrared. His experiment was significant not only because
of the discovery of the infrared but because of the realization that there are
other types of electromagnetic waves that we cannot see.

Infra-red radiation has many useful applications
1. Infrared photographs taken from a satellite with special films provide
useful details of the vegetation on the Earth’s surface.
2. Infrared scanners are used to show the temperature variation of the
body. This can be used for medical diagnosis.
3. Infrared remote controls are used in TVs, video cassette recorders,
and other electronic appliances.
4. Infrared telescopes are used for seeing in the dark.
5. Autofocus camera has a transmitter that sends out infrared pulses.
The pulses are reflected by the object to be photographed back to
the camera. The distance of the object is calculated by the time lag
between the sending and receiving of pulses. The lens is then driven
by a built-in motor to adjust to get the correct focus of the object.
Infrared is also used in the following devices:
1. Augmentative communication devices
2. Car locking systems
3. Computers
a. Mous
b. Keyboards
c. Printers
4. Emergency response systems
5. Headphones
6. Home security systems
7. Navigation systems
8. Signages
9. Telephones
10.Some toys
Nowadays, infrared technology provides numerous advantages
especially in wireless communication. The following reasons explain why:
1. Low power requirements that makes it ideal for laptops, and other
technological devices
2. Low circuitry costs
3. Simple circuitry: can be incorporated in the integrated circuit of a
product
4. Higher security than radio waves since it requires “line of sight”
transmission
5. Portable
6. Not likely to interfere to signals from other devices

The Visible Spectrum
The visible light shares the thinnest slice in the electromagnetic spectrum.
It lies in between the infrared and the ultraviolet rays. It is the only EM wave
perceived by the human eye. If not because of the visible light, we will not be
able to see the beauty of our surrounding much less appreciate it.
White light, like that of the sunlight is made up of a variety of colors
arranged as follows: red, orange, yellow, green blue, indigo and violet. Though
these colors travel at the same speed, they come in different wavelengths.
From red to violet, the colors come in decreasing wavelength. That is, red has
the longest wavelength and violet has the shortest.
Activity 6
Screen the UV out
Answers to Guide Questions:
Q14. How does the newsprint vary in the three divisions of the newspaper
cutout after they were exposed to sunlight?
Answer: The newsprint in the fully exposed part of the newspaper faded more
dramatically than the other parts.
Q15. What does this indicate?
Answer: It indicates that sunlight, specifically UV rays affect the pigments of
different objects.
Q16. How does this realization impact your personal life?
Answers may vary.
Example Answer: I realized that we need to protect our skin from UV rays by
using protective clothes or lotion that can block sunlight.
Extension of Learning:
Let the learners observe the effects of UV indoors and during a cloudy day.
Make an emphasis that even indoors; UV still has effects on living things.

Ultraviolet Radiation
Ultraviolet radiation is the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that
consists of frequencies higher than that of the visible light but lower than the
x-rays. Having higher frequency, UV rays carry higher amount of energy. They
can damage tissue, burn the skin and damage the eyes. For these reasons,
protection from such damaging rays were invented such like UV sunscreen/
sunblock lotions and eyeglasses that could filter out these frequencies.
Ultraviolet rays also have benefits. Hospitals make use of UV to sterilize
medical instruments to kill harmful bacteria.
Other uses of UV Rays
1. Production of Vitamin D in our skin
2. Sterilization of water in drinking fountains
3. Identifying original from fake banknotes
X-rays and Gamma Rays
The other end of the electromagnetic spectrum is the waves of very high
frequencies and high energies. These are the x-rays and the gamma rays.
Important Concepts about the X-rays
1. The frequencies of x-rays ranges from 3 x 1016
to 3 x 1019
Hz.
2. X-rays can pass through soft tissues but are filtered by dense matter such
as the bones. This makes x-rays suitable for diagnosing bone fractures and
dense tumors.
3. X-rays can damage body tissues.
4. Frequent/Overexposure to x-rays can cause cancer over time.
Important Concepts about Gamma rays
1. Gamma rays have the highest frequencies and energies than any EM
waves.
2. Emitted by the sun and stars. Can also be produced by radioactive
substances.
3. Can penetrate soft and hard body tissues.
4. Can cause cancer cells to develop.
Beneficial Effects of Gamma Radiation:
1. Used in sterilizing medical equipment.
2. Used to kill cancer cells.

Content Standard Performance Standard
The learners demonstrate an
understanding of the images formed
by the different types of mirrors and
lenses.
The learners should be able to make
informed choices on selecting the
right type of mirrors or lenses for
specific purposes.
Overview
In the previous module, the students learned about electromagnetic
spectrum. They gained an understanding of the different electromagnetic
waves and the benefits they bring. One of the most common among these
electromagnetic waves is the visible light.
In this module, they will study two properties of visible light namely the
reflection and refraction. A closer look into these properties will be studied
through different observable examples and experimentations using mirrors
and lenses. This will help the teacher in providing tasks and activities that
will guide the students in selecting the right type of mirrors and lenses that
they can use in their daily lives.

Reflection of Light in Mirrors
Teaching Tips:
Start the module by reviewing students’ prior knowledge about light
since they were able to learn these concepts in their previous years (Grades
7and 8). The following questions may be asked for review:
•	 What is the nature of light?
•	 What is reflection?
To introduce the lesson on Reflection of Light in Mirrors, ask the students
to write the word “AMBULANCE” in a sheet of paper in the same manner as it
is written in the ambulance car. Ask them also to bring the sheet in front of the
mirror and read the word “AMBULANCE”. Ask them why it’s written that way
and let them perform the activity to elicit the concept of reflection.
Activity 1

Teaching Tips:
1. To introduce reflection on non-flat mirrors, ask the following questions:
•	 Have you seen your image on the two sides of clear spoon?
•	 What do you notice about your image on each of the two sides
of the spoon?
•	 How will you compare your image from the two sides of the
spoon?
2. The teacher can also show spherical mirrors and label them as concave
and/or convex mirror. Pass around the mirrors so the students will be
able to see the difference between the two in terms of shape and images
formed.
3. NSTIC materials may be used in this activity.
4. Check the focal lengths of the mirrors to be used before hand. Also, make
sure that the values of f are clearly written on the mirrors.
5. Show a demo on how light rays are reflected in concave and convex
mirrors. You can use spoon if no mirrors are available. You can also use
the segment in CONSTEL: Physics in Everyday Life to show this. (Episode
32 – Light, Sight and Color).
6. For a better understanding show illustrations of concave and convex mirrors
with labels of their important points and terminologies.
Additional Information:
Images Formed by Curved Mirrors
The law of reflection that applies for plane mirrors, namely ∠i = ∠r, also
applies to curved mirrors. The extremely small area involved in the reflection
of a ray of light from a curved mirror surface can be regarded as a plane area
at that point.
As convex mirrors give a wider range of view than plane mirrors of the
same size, they are sometimes used in shops and supermarkets to watch for
shoplifters. Shaving and make-up mirrors are often concave because they
produce a magnified image when held close. Parabolic reflectors are used
in motor car headlights and searchlights and the light source is placed at the
focus of the reflector, since this gives way to a concentrated, straight beam.
Satellite tracking stations also use parabolic reflectors. The reflector is used
to bring microwave signals from satellites to a focus since these waves also
follows the same laws of reflection as light.

Concave (Converging) Mirrors
Because concave mirrors cause
parallel light rays to converge or meet
they are known as converging mirrors.
In order to understand the various types
of images formed by curved mirrors,
several terms must be defined. The
terms defined in this section refer to
concave mirrors.
The center of curvature (C) of
a spherical mirror (see Figure 2) is the
center of the sphere of which the mirror
is a part of.
The radius of curvature (R) is the
radius of the sphere of which the mirror
forms a part.
The center of the reflecting
surface of the mirror is called the vertex
(V) of the mirror. The principal axis is
the line drawn through the center of
curvature and the vertex of the mirror.
The aperture is the diameter of the
reflecting surface.
By convention we shall regard
the light incident on a curved mirror
as coming from the left. Fig. 3 shows
incident rays of light parallel to the
principal axis hitting the mirror at point
A, and being reflected at an angle until
it intersected with the principal axis
at point F. This point, F, is called the
principal focus, or focal point and it lies
on the principal axis of the mirror.
In a converging mirror, incident rays
parallel to the principal axis converge as
the focal point.
Figure 3. Curved mirrors also follow the law of
reflection
Figure 1. Rays of light parallel to the principal
axis are brought to a focus.

The distance of the focal point, F, from the vertex, V, of the mirror is
known as the focal length, f.
Consider a ray of light parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror.
After reflection, this ray will pass through the focus of the mirror.
This ray follows the law of reflection that The normal to the mirror
surface at A must pass through the center of curvature C as the normal must
be a radius of the sphere of which the mirror forms a part. Hence, the angles
marked are equal. This means that FC = FA since triangle AFC is
an isosceles triangle and FA = VF.
Ray Tracing
It is possible to use scale drawings and graphical methods to obtain the loca-
tion of the image of a small object placed in front of a concave mirror. The method is
based on the straight-line transmission of light. Since it involves geometric construc-
tions, the process is known as geometrical optics. The diagrams that are drawn are
referred to as ray diagrams.
In order to locate the image of a point on an object, two rays can be drawn
from the point to the mirror. These rays can be drawn after reflection and their
point of intersection will give the image of the point.
In locating the image, any two of four so called principal rays may be
considered. These rays are used because their paths can be easily predicted.

Answers to Questions:
Q1. When you bring the flashlight near to the concave mirror, the size of
the image increases and the location moves farther from the mirror.
Conversely, the size of the image decreases and the location becomes
farther the observer.
Q2. The images formed by a concave mirror can be seen on screen and on
the mirror while the images formed by a convex mirror can be seen only
on the mirror. Therefore, images formed by concave mirrors can be real
and virtual, depending on the location of the object. The images formed
by convex mirrors are virtual.

Activity 6
Are you L-O-S-T after Reflection?
In this activity, students will construct ray diagrams to determine the
location, orientation, size, and type of images formed by the curved mirror.
They will also describe the image formed in a curved mirror.
Teaching Tips:
1. Emphasize the accuracy of measurement of the focal point, F and
center of curvature, C. (Note: The radius of curvature is twice the
focal length).
2. The center of curvature, C can be determined easily if a protractor
is used as a curve in the diagramming.
3. Instruct the students to use different colors of ink for incident and
reflected rays (e.g. blue for incident ray and red for reflected ray).
4. Instruct them to use the four rays as much as possible but tell
them that at least two rays are needed to locate the image.
5. In the problem solving part, make sure that following information
(sign conventions) were made clear among the students:
o focal point is positive (+) if the mirror is a concave mirror
o focal point is negative (-) if the mirror is a convex mirror
o distance of image from mirror is positive (+) if the image is
a real image and located on the object›s side of the mirror.
o distance of image from mirror is negative (-) if the image
is a virtual image and located behind the mirror
o orientation of image with respect to original image is
positive (+) if the image is an upright image (and therefore,
also virtual)
o orientation of image with respect to original image is
negative (-) if the image is an inverted image (and
therefore, also real

Answers to Questions:
Q14. The location of the object affects the characteristics and location of the
image in such a way that as the object comes nearer the concave mirror,
its image appears farther away from the mirrors and becomes larger
and inverted. As it comes closer to the surface of the concave mirror
(between F and V), the image appears upright and becomes virtual. For
all locations of object in front of a convex mirror, the image formed is
always upright, reduced, virtual, and located between F and V.
Q15. A dentist’s mirror is a concave mirror because the image appears larger or
magnified, making it easier for the dentist to see the details of the object
(teeth). This happens because the object (teeth) is located between the
mirrors focal point and the vertex or optical center of the mirror.
Q16. Most of the department stores use convex mirrors because it gives a
wider range of view.

fication of a convex lens. They will also describe and find the location of the
images of the object when placed at different locations from the convex lens.
Teaching Tips:
1. Show a demo on other ways to locate the focal length of the convex
lens like the procedure below.
a. Look for any object (tree, etc.) outside your window.
b. Hold up the
lens facing the
window.
c. Move a sheet
of paper
(screen) behind
it. See figure
on the right.
d. Adjust the
paper until a
clear image
of the distant
object (tree,
etc.) outside the window is observed on the paper.
e. Measure the distance from the image to the lens. This is the
focal length of the lens.

Additional Information:
Focal Length
For both convex and concave lenses, the distance from the principal
focus to the center of the lens is called the focal length of the lens, f. See
Figure 6.

Enlarged and inverted f < p < 2f q > 2f
Reduced and inverted p >2f f < q <2f
Answers to Questions:
Q17. Answers may vary.
Q18. The image produced by a very distant object is inverted.
Q18. Convex lenses are used as magnifying glasses. To produces a magnified
and upright image, the object is located between the lens’ focal point and
vertex or optical center.
Q19. A magnifying glass should be placed nearer the object than the eye.
This is because the eye serves as the screen where the image is formed
and the image distance should be greater than the object distance.

Activity 8
Are you L-O-S-T after Refraction?
In this activity, students will construct ray diagrams for lenses and deter-
mine the location, orientation, size, and type of image formed.
Teaching Tips:
1. Use separate sheets of paper in constructing ray diagrams for
objects at different locations in front of convex and concave lens.
2. Emphasize the correct measurement for points F, F’, 2F, and 2F’.
An imaginary vertical line in the center lens may be drawn and
used as the center of the lens.
3. Instruct them to use different colors of ink for incident and refracted
rays (e.g. blue for incident ray and red for refracted ray).
4. Remind them to use the three rays as much as possible.
5. Intheproblemsolvingpart,makesurethatthefollowinginformation
(sign conventions) are made clear among the students:
o f is + if the lens is a double convex lens (converging lens)
o f is - if the lens is a double concave lens (diverging lens)
o q is + if the image is a real image and located behind the
lens
o q is - if the image is a virtual image and located on the
object’s side of the lens
o h’ is + if the image is an upright image (and therefore,
also virtual)
o h’ is - if the image is an inverted image (and therefore,
also real)

Answers to Questions:
Q21. As the object comes nearer the convex lens, the image appears farther
and magnified. As it comes closer to the convex lens (between F and V),
the image appears upright and becomes virtual. For all locations of object
in front of a concave lens, the image formed is always upright, reduced,
virtual, and located between F and V.

Q23. A concave lens cannot form real image because a real image is formed
by intersection of real refracted rays, and concave lens spreads out the
real rays.

Activity 9
Making Improvised Optical Device
In this activity, students will improvise optical device such as pinhole
camera, periscope, microscope, and telescope.
Teaching Tips:
Before performing the activity, the students are tasked to do some
researches on how to make or improvise optical device such as pinhole
camera, periscope, microscope, and telescope. The students may also
use other materials other than the materials indicated in the activity. The
students accomplish the Problem Solving Sheet and the teacher may
employ group reporting about their output. If possible, encourage them
to employ or use ICT (Information and Communications Technology) in
their report. A rubric should be prepared by the teacher in grading the
report of the students considering their resourcefulness, appearance/
design of the device, durability of the device, oral report, etc.
Additional Information:
Optical Instruments and their Functions
The following are some optical instruments, their uses and functions.
Magnifying glass is a single positive lens that will add
convergence to the visual system. As an object is brought near
the eye, the retinal image increases in size. There is a limit to
this increase in size, however, in the sense that at a very short
distance between the eye and the object, the rays will diverge
so much that a magnifying lens becomes necessary. The main
function of a magnifying glass is to provide an image of an object
that is bigger than that seen by the naked eye.

A compound microscope consists of a combination of lenses
for magnifying an object several hundred times. It uses two
converging lenses with short focal lengths. The lens near the
object is the objective lens, while the one nearer the eye is the
eyepiece. The objective lens forms a real and enlarged inverted
image. The eyepiece, on the other hand, forms a further enlarged,
erect, but virtual final image.
A telescope allows us to see distant objects. It contains two
converging lenses, namely, the objective and the eyepiece. The
objective lens forms a real image of a very distant object within
the focus of the eyepiece lens. Meanwhile, the focal length of the
objective lens must be relatively longer than the eyepiece lens for
bigger magnification.
The camera is a box-like device used for taking pictures. It uses
a lens that produces a real image on photographic film. It has a
shutter that opens just long enough to allow the image to fall on
the film before closing again.
Binoculars consist of a pair of telescopes mounted together, each
having an objective lens and an eyepiece. The image formed by
the objective lens of binoculars is upside-down, and the left and
right sides are reversed. Binoculars use a system of prisms to
switch the image left to right and right to left. Then the eyepieces
create enlarged, virtual, upright images.
An endoscope is a long flexible tube that is inserted in the body
so that a doctor can observe internal passages such as a person’s
esophagus or intestine. It has a converging lens and bunches of
optical fibers that convey the image to the end of the tube, where
the image can be observed through a computer monitor or screen.
An endoscope uses the concept of total internal reflection.
The spectrometer uses the principle of diffraction to create a
spectrum of colors emitted by a light source. This aids scientists
and engineers in identifying different substances.
An overhead projector has a mirror, which focuses light from an
intense source onto a pair of converging lenses. These lenses
direct the light through the slide to a projection lens. The lens is
mounted on a sliding tube so that it can be adjusted to be able to
focus the real image on the screen.

A periscope is an optical device consisting of a tube attached to
a set of mirrors or prisms, through which an observer (typically
in a submerged submarine or behind a high obstacle) can see
things that are otherwise out of sight.
Interferometer is an optical device that uses the concepts of
diffraction and interference to make precise measurements of
very small distances. It can also be used to measure changes in
the index of refraction.
