Front

What is electromagnetic radiation?

Back

Electromagnetic radiation is energy that travels in waves, including various types such as microwaves and gamma rays.

Front

What is the relationship between wavelength and frequency in electromagnetic waves?

Back

Waves with long wavelengths have low frequencies, while waves with short wavelengths have high frequencies.

Front

Which type of electromagnetic wave has the highest energy?

Back

Gamma rays have the highest energy among electromagnetic waves.

Front

How does the energy of electromagnetic waves change with frequency?

Back

As the frequency of electromagnetic waves increases, their energy also increases.

Front

What is the electromagnetic spectrum?

Back

The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all types of electromagnetic radiation, organized by wavelength and frequency.

Front

What are the main types of electromagnetic waves in the spectrum?

Back

The main types include radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.

Front

How are electromagnetic waves arranged in the electromagnetic spectrum?

Back

They are arranged in order of decreasing wavelength, from radio waves to gamma rays.

Front

What is the significance of the light spectrum in astronomy?

Back

The light spectrum is used in astronomy to identify elements in stars and galaxies, take pictures of deep space, and calculate the movement of galaxies.

Front

What happens to the hazard level of electromagnetic waves as frequency increases?

Back

As frequency increases, the energy increases and the hazard level becomes more significant.

Front

What type of electromagnetic wave is used in microwave ovens?

Back

Microwaves are the type of electromagnetic wave used in microwave ovens.
