When the sound source moves, the frequency changes
ex. police car siren sounding lower pitch after the car passes

• pitch
• frequency
• Doppler Effect
• medium

Select the correct order of waves on the EMS 

• Radio, Micro, Infra, Visible, Ultra, X-ray, Gamma
• Gamma, X-ray, Ultra, Vis, Infra, Micro, Radio
• Vis, Micro, Infra, Ultra, X-ray, Gamma, Radio
• Micro, Radio, Vis, Infra, Ultra, X-ray, Gamma

Put the visible light colors in order from longest wavelength to shortest wavelength

• Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Orange, Yellow, Red
• Red, Yellow, Green, Orange, Violet, Blue, Indigo
• Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet
