Electromagnetic Spectrum

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

Which type of electromagnetic radiation has the shortest wavelength?

Back

Gamma Rays have the shortest wavelength and the highest frequency.

Front

Which type of electromagnetic radiation has the longest wavelength?

Back

Radio Waves have the longest wavelength and the lowest frequency.

Front

What is the relationship between frequency and wavelength?

Back

High frequency waves have short wavelengths, while low frequency waves have long wavelengths.

Front

Which electromagnetic radiation has the greatest frequency?

Back

X-rays have the greatest frequency among the options provided.

Front

What type of electromagnetic wave has the lowest energy?

Back

Microwaves have the lowest energy compared to gamma rays, infrared waves, and visible light waves.

Front

Define wavelength in the context of electromagnetic waves.

Back

Wavelength is the distance between successive peaks of a wave, typically measured in meters.

Front

What is frequency in the context of electromagnetic waves?

Back

Frequency is the number of waves that pass a given point in one second, measured in hertz (Hz).

Front

How does energy relate to frequency in electromagnetic waves?

Back

Higher frequency electromagnetic waves carry more energy than lower frequency waves.

Front

What is visible light?

Back

Visible light is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye, typically ranging from wavelengths of about 400 to 700 nanometers.
