EM Spectrum

The type of wave that can travel through either matter or empty space:

• Mechanical Waves
• Electromagnetic Waves

Does the frog reflect or absorb green?

• Reflect
• Absorb

Which has the LONGEST wavelength and, therefore, the lowest frequency/energy

• Gamma Rays
• Radio Waves
• Visible Light
• Infrared rays

Which has the SHORTEST wavelength and, therefore, the highest frequency/most energy

• Radio waves
• Ultraviolet Rays
• Gamma Rays
• X-rays

Which section of the spectrum is the ONLY one we can see?

• X-rays
• Visible Light
• Gamma Rays
• Ultraviolet Rays

Which of the following electromagnetic waves is given off as heat?
