Energy in Waves Cluster

1: Which claim best describes the relationship between the frequency and wavelength of waves in the electromagnetic spectrum?

• Waves with a higher frequency have a shorter wavelength.

• Waves with a higher frequency have a longer wavelength.

• Waves with a lower frequency have a shorter wavelength.

• There is no relationship between frequency and wavelength of waves.

 A student wants to develop a model that demonstrates the transmission of waves. Which concept should the student include in the model to show how the  transmission of visible light is different from the transmission of sound waves? 

• Light and sound waves can be transmitted through space.

• Light can be transmitted through space and matter, but sound waves can only be  transmitted through matter.

• Light can be transmitted through different forms of matter, but sound waves can  only be transmitted through space.

• Light can be transmitted only through space, and sound waves can be transmitted  through space and matter.

 Based on the behavior of these visible light rays, which claim can be made about materials A or B?

• Material A is transparent because the light ray is transmitted.

• Material A is transparent because the light ray is absorbed.

• Material B is transparent because the light ray is transmitted.

• Material B is transparent because the light ray is absorbed.
