Wavelength quiz

What is the definition of wavelength?

• The frequency of a wave

• The amplitude of a wave

• The distance between successive peaks of a wave.

• The speed of a wave

How does wavelength affect wave behavior?

• Wavelength affects wave behavior by influencing diffraction and directionality.

• Wavelength causes waves to become less predictable

• Wavelength only affects the speed of the wave

• Wavelength has no effect on wave behavior

How does frequency affect wave behavior?

• Frequency affects wave behavior by determining the pitch of the sound or the color of the light.

• Frequency affects wave behavior by determining the direction of the wave.

• Frequency affects wave behavior by determining the speed of the wave.

• Frequency affects wave behavior by determining the amplitude of the wave.

What is the significance of understanding wavelength and frequency in real-life applications?

• It is significant in areas such as telecommunications, medical imaging, and environmental monitoring.

• It has no real-life applications

• It only applies to theoretical physics

• It is only relevant for historical purposes

Wave with the longest wavelength

• microwave
• radio
• gamma
• visible light

When the wavelength increases the frequency will

• increase

• decrease

• remain same

• none of these

EM waves  

• Must travel through a vacuum
• Can travel through a medium or a vacuum
• Are the same type of wave as mechanical waves
• Can only travel through a vacuum

Visible light is 

• radiation
• light
• a way to transfer energy
• all of these

EM waves have the same speed but different:

• frequency & medium 
• wavelength & frequency
• medium & wavelength
• color & medium

Which of these lists the EM waves from Highest to lowest frequency?

• Radio - Micro - Gamma - Visible light - UV - Xrays - Infrared - Xrays

• Radio - Micro - Infrared - Visible light - UV - X - Gamma waves

• Gamma - Xray - UV - Visible light - Infrared - Micro - radio

• none
