Light and Color Review

How are electromagnetic waves different from other waves? 

• They have very short wavelengths 

• They transmit energy instead of matter 

• They can travel through empty space

• They can change direction by reflection 

As white light passes through a prism, it is separated into the different colors of a rainbow called a spectrum. What does each color of the spectrum represent?

• a different amount of energy

• a different amount of magnifying strength

• a different amount of magnetic force

• a different amount of force needed to pass through transparent objects
