Light Waves and EMS

Front

What is the Electromagnetic Spectrum?

Back

The Electromagnetic Spectrum is the range of all types of electromagnetic radiation, which includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.

Front

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

Back

As the wavelength of electromagnetic waves decreases, the frequency increases, and vice versa.

Front

Which type of electromagnetic wave has the highest frequency?

Back

Gamma Ray Waves have the highest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Front

Which type of electromagnetic wave has the longest wavelength?

Back

Radio Waves have the longest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Front

What is a transverse wave?

Back

A transverse wave is a type of wave where the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of the wave's travel, such as light waves.

Front

What color of visible light has the shortest wavelength?

Back

Violet light has the shortest wavelength in the visible spectrum.

Front

What is the speed of light in a vacuum?

Back

The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second (km/s).

Front

What are microwaves used for?

Back

Microwaves are used for various applications, including cooking food, communication, and radar technology.

Front

What is the difference between ultraviolet rays and visible light?

Back

Ultraviolet rays have shorter wavelengths than visible light and are not visible to the human eye.

Front

What happens to the energy of electromagnetic waves as their frequency increases?

Back

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