What is the Sun's Spectrum?

Back

The Sun's Spectrum refers to the range of electromagnetic radiation emitted by the Sun, including visible light, ultraviolet light, infrared radiation, and other types of radiation.

What type of wave is light?

Back

Light is an electromagnetic wave, which means it does not require a medium to travel and can move through a vacuum.

Front

What is the relationship between wavelength and frequency?

Back

Wavelength and frequency are inversely related; as the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases, and vice versa.

Front

What is the speed of all electromagnetic waves in a vacuum?

Back

The speed of all electromagnetic waves in a vacuum is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second (or about 300,000 kilometers per second).

Front

What are gamma rays?

Back

Gamma rays are a type of high-energy electromagnetic radiation with very short wavelengths and high frequencies, often produced by radioactive decay.

Front

What are radio waves?

Back

Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation with the longest wavelengths and lowest frequencies, commonly used for communication.

Front

What is ultraviolet (UV) radiation?

Back

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths shorter than visible light but longer than X-rays, known for its ability to cause sunburn.

Front

What is visible light?

Back

Visible light is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that can be detected by the human eye, consisting of colors ranging from red to violet.

Front

What is the order of colors in the visible spectrum from low frequency to high frequency?

Back

The order of colors in the visible spectrum from low frequency to high frequency is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet.

Front

What is the amplitude of a wave?

Back

The amplitude of a wave is the maximum distance that points on a wave, such as the crest or trough, move from their rest position.
