True or False:

Ultraviolet: form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelength shorter than that of visible light but longer than X-rays.

• True

• False

• All above

• None above

An organized scientific study of the natural world that may include making systematic observations, asking questions, gathering information, analyzing data, summarizing results, drawing conclusions, and/or communicating results.

• Analysis

• Investigation

True or False:

Visible light: Electromagnetic radiation that can be seen by the human eye

• False

• True

• Non above

The height of a wave's crest or trough from its resting position that identifies the amount of energy a wave produces.
