Front

What happens to the energy of a wave when its amplitude increases?

Back

The wave's energy increases.

Front

What are radio waves?

Back

Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longer than infrared light, used for communication.

Front

What are X-rays?

Back

X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation with very short wavelengths, used in medical imaging.

Front

What is visible light?

Back

Visible light is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye.

Front

What are infrared rays?

Back

Infrared rays are electromagnetic waves with wavelengths longer than visible light but shorter than radio waves, often associated with heat.

Front

What is the relationship between wavelength and frequency?

Back

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