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 type of EM waves have a shorter wavelength than visible light?

Back

X-rays have a shorter wavelength than visible light.

Front

Which EM waves have the shortest wavelength?

Back

Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Front

Which EM waves have the longest wavelength?

Back

Radio waves have the longest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Front

What color of visible light has the shortest wavelength?

Back

Violet light has the shortest wavelength among visible colors.

Front

What happens to frequency when wavelength decreases?

Back

When wavelength decreases, frequency increases.

Front

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

Back

Wavelength and frequency are inversely related; as one increases, the other decreases.

Front

What are radio waves used for?

Back

Radio waves are used for communication, including radio and television broadcasting.

Front

What is infrared radiation?

Back

Infrared radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longer than visible light but shorter than microwaves, commonly associated with heat.

Front

What is visible light?

Back

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