Front

What portion of the electromagnetic spectrum is made up of visible light?

Back

Only a small portion.

Front

What is a Direct Relationship?

Back

When two different variables do the same thing.

Front

Which two variables of the electromagnetic spectrum have a direct relationship?

Back

Energy and frequency.

Front

What is the relationship between infrared waves and X-rays in terms of wavelength and frequency?

Back

Infrared waves have longer wavelengths and lower frequencies than X-rays due to their inverse relationship.

Front

How do radio waves compare in terms of frequency and wavelength?

Back

Radio waves possess low frequencies and large wavelengths.

Front

What is the electromagnetic spectrum?

Back

The range of all types of electromagnetic radiation, including radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.

Front

What is wavelength?

Back

The distance between successive crests of a wave.

Front

What is frequency?

Back

The number of waves that pass a point in one second.

Front

What is the relationship between energy and frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum?

Back

Energy and frequency have a direct relationship; as frequency increases, energy increases.

Front

What type of waves are found at the low-energy end of the electromagnetic spectrum?

Back

Radio waves.
