Waves Review

As frequency of a wave increases,

• Wavelength Increases

• Wavelength decreases

• Energy decreases

Gamma rays

• have the longest wavelength than any other EM wave

• travel faster than any other EM wave

• have the most energy of any EM wave

• can not travel through space

Which of the EM waves has the lowest energy?

• x rays

• ultraviolet

• infrared

• radio

The color with the longest wavelength is

• Violet

• Green

• Yellow

• Red

The higher the amplitude of a wave

• the longer the wavelength it has

• the more energy it has

What is the lowest point of a wave?

• Crest

• Trough

• Amplitude

• Wavelength

Sound is an example of

• an electromagnetic wave

• a mechanical wave

Visible light is an example of

• a compressional wave

• a mechanical wave

• an electromagnetic wave

When a wave is bounced off a surface it is called

• refraction

• reflection

• diffraction

A disturbance that carries energy through matter or space is called

• electricity

• a wave

• a magnet
