A wave has a low speed but a high frequency. What can be inferred about its wavelength?

The distance of a wave will vibrate from its resting point

The wavelength will be very long

It depends on how fast the speed is

How is amplitude related to energy

The larger the amplitude, the more energy a wave carries

The larger the amplitude, the less energy a wave carries

The shorter the aplitude, the more energy a wave carries

Amplitude is not related to energy

light that we can see with our natural eye

A student placed a pencil in a cup of water. The pencil appears broken because light-

bends when it passes through water

always travels in a straight line

makes the water in the glass evaporate

reflects the pencil on the water's surface

Why does the lower part of the child appear so much different in size from the upper part?

The light rays that travel through water and then into air are refracted.

The light rays that travel through water and then into air are enlarged.

The light rays that travel through air and then into water are reflected.

The light rays that travel through air and then into water are reduced.

Put the visible light colors in order from longest wavelength to shortest wavelength

Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet

Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Orange, Yellow, Red
