When two different variables do the same thing

Back

Direct Relationship

Front

Which two variables of the electromagnetic spectrum have a direct relationship? Options: Crests and trough, energy and frequency, wavelength and energy, frequency and wavelength

Back

energy and frequency

Front

As wavelength increases: frequency, _____________ and energy ______________.

Back

Decreases; decreases

Front

Based on the picture, which of the following types of electromagnetic radiation has the LOWEST energy?

microwave

,

ultraviolet

,

infrared

,

x-rays

Back

microwave

Front

Why can ultraviolet rays cause sunburn but visible light from a light bulb does not damage skin?

Back

Ultraviolet rays have higher frequency than visible light rays and thus have more energy than light rays from a light bulb.
