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

Which of the following electromagnetic waves has the lowest frequency?

• gamma ray

• infrared wave

• visible light wave

• microwave

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
