Which of the following statements describes the period of a wave?

Distance from resting position to top of the wave

One use of radio waves is...

Broadcasting and communications

Observing internal structure of objects

Sterilising food and medical equipment

Electromagnetic waves are:

C. Longitudinal and transverse waves

Microwaves are used in

B. The transmission of television signals.

Which of the following lists of electromagnetic waves are in order of increasing energy?

A. UV, IR, Radio waves, microwaves.

D. Radio, gamma, visible, microwaves.

Radio waves are used in

B. The transmission of television signals.

B. Lower frequency than UV and shorter wavelength than microwaves.

A. Higher frequency than UV but lower than visible.

C. Longer wavelength than radio waves and higher frequency than microwaves.

D. Shorter wavelength than gamma rays and a lower frequency than gamma rays.

Hot drinks cool down quicker in black cups than white ones because:

B. Black is a good absorber and emitter of radiation.

A. White is a good absorber and poor emitter of radiation

How are Electromagnetic waves different from Mechanical waves?

EM waves can travel through the vacuum of space (without particles)

EM waves have very short wavelengths

EM waves transmit energy instead of matter

EM waves can change direction by reflection

Which is true about the speed of radio waves compared to light waves? They are...

less energy & frequency, but still the SAME speed as the speed of light (300,000,000 m/s)

less energy & frequency, so LESS than the speed of light (300,000,000 m/s)

smaller wavelength, so LESS than the speed of light (300,000,000 m/s)

more energy & frequency, so MORE than the speed of light (300,000,000 m/s)
