Electromagnetic Spectrum

True or false: as you move along the spectrum, radio to gamma waves, the wavelengths decrease in size (get smaller)

A wave with a large wavelength will have a ______ frequency and _____ energy.

Order of waves on the EMS from longest to shortest wavelength: Radio, Micro, Infra, Visible, Ultra, X-ray, Gamma

Which has the LONGEST wavelength and, therefore, the lowest frequency/energy? Options: Gamma Rays, Radio Waves, Visible Light, Infrared rays

Which has the SHORTEST wavelength and, therefore, the highest frequency/most energy? Options: Radio waves, Ultraviolet Rays, Gamma Rays, X-rays

How are electromagnetic waves different from other waves?

As the frequency of an electromagnetic wave increases, the amount of energy in that wave...

High frequency waves have _________ wavelengths.

The distance between two crests or two troughs of a wave is called:

The height of the wave from the rest position is known as the _____________. Options: amplitude, crest, trough, wavelength
