• A solid object that moves in a straight line.

• A type of energy that cannot travel through space.

• A force that pulls objects together.

Multiple Choice

Which of the following best describes a wavelength?

• The distance from one crest of a wave to the next.

• A disturbance that transmits energy through matter or empty space.

What is an electromagnetic wave?

Multiple Choice

Which two fields combine to create an electromagnetic wave?

• Electric and magnetic fields

• Electric and gravitational fields

• Magnetic and thermal fields

• Thermal and gravitational fields

Multiple Choice

Why are electromagnetic waves considered transverse waves?

• Because their electric and magnetic fields are perpendicular to each other

• Because they travel in a straight line

• Because they require a medium to travel

• Because they move in a circular motion
