5.1 Electromagnetic Spectrum

What is wave motion?

• Transfer of matter without the transfer of energy

• Transfer of energy without the transfer of matter

• Transfer of both energy and matter

• Neither transfer of energy nor matter

What are the two types of waves mentioned in the learning material?

• Transverse waves and Surface waves

• Longitudinal waves and Surface waves

• Transverse waves and Longitudinal waves

• Surface waves and Electromagnetic waves

In a transverse wave, how do the particles move relative to the direction of the wave?

• Parallel to the wave direction

• Perpendicular to the wave direction

• In a circular motion

• In a random direction

In a longitudinal wave, how do the particles move relative to the direction of the wave?

• Parallel to the wave direction

• Perpendicular to the wave direction

• In a circular motion

• In a random direction

What is the unit of measurement for frequency?

• Meters (m)

• Hertz (Hz)

• Seconds (s)

• Amperes (A)

What does wavelength measure?

• Number of waves per second

• Distance between two waves

• Height of a wave

• Speed of a wave

Which of the following terms is used to describe the number of waves per second?

• Amplitude

• Wavelength

• Frequency

• Trough

What is the distance between two peaks of a wave called?

• Amplitude

• Frequency

• Wavelength

• Trough

Identify the part of the wave labeled as "2" in the diagram.

• Wavelength

• Amplitude

• Peak

• Trough

What is the relationship between wave amplitude and energy?

• Higher amplitude waves carry less energy.

• Higher amplitude waves carry more energy.

• Lower amplitude waves carry more energy.

• Amplitude does not affect the energy of the wave.
