How are electromagnetic waves different from other waves?

• They have very short wavelengths

• They transmit energy instead of matter

• They can travel through the vacuum of space (without particles)

• They can change direction by reflection

• infrared wave

• visible light wave

• microwave

Which is true about the speed of radio waves compared to light waves? They are...

• less energy & frequency, but still the SAME speed as the speed of light (300,000,000 m/s)

• less energy & frequency, so LESS than the speed of light (300,000,000 m/s)

• smaller wavelength, so LESS than the speed of light (300,000,000 m/s)

• more energy & frequency, so MORE than the speed of light (300,000,000 m/s)

Wavelength and Frequency are related in that...

• they are always the same

• when one increases, the other decreases (inversely proportional)

• there is no correlation

• they both vary in an irregular pattern

• wavelength (and frequency)

• speed

• amplitude

• particles of the medium

All electromagnetic waves are...

• transverse waves and have the same frequency

• transverse waves and have the same speed

• mechanical waves and have the same wavelength

• longitudinal waves and have the same energy
