What is the Electromagnetic Spectrum?

A range of all possible electromagnetic waves

On the electromagnetic spectrum, radio waves are found on the end of the spectrum considered to possess a low amount of energy. Which statement most accurately describes the wavelength/frequency relationship present in radio waves?

Radio waves possess low frequencies and large wavelengths.

Radio waves possess both low frequencies and small wavelengths.

Radio waves possess both high frequencies and large wavelengths.

Radio waves possess high frequencies and small wavelengths.

Which of the following best explains why ultraviolet rays can cause sunburn but visible light from a light bulb does not damage skin?

Ultraviolet rays have higher frequency than visible light rays and thus have more energy than light rays from a light bulb.

Ultraviolet rays come before the visible light in the EM spectrum, which means anything before visible light automatically causes cancer.

Ultraviolet rays have lower frequencies than visible light rays and thus have higher energy than light rays from a light bulb.

Ultraviolet rays have higher frequencies than visible light rays and thus have less energy than light rays from a light bulb.

Where in the electromagnetic spectrum do infrared rays fall?

Between microwaves and visible light

Between radio waves and microwaves

Between visible light and ultraviolet rays

Between ultraviolet rays and X-rays

How are the different types of light waves on the electromagnetic spectrum organized?

Based on their wavelength and frequency

Based on their color and brightness

Based on their speed and direction

Based on their temperature and intensity

Which is the correct order of waves of the electromagnetic spectrum, from lowest energy to highest energy?

radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light, ultraviolet light, x-rays, gamma rays

gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared light, microwaves, radio waves

radio waves, gamma rays, x-rays, visible light, microwaves, ultraviolet light, infrared waves
