Electromagnetic waves vary in
the speed they travel in a vacuum.
wavelength and frequency.
the way they reflect.
the orientation of their electric and magnetic fields.
To calculate the frequency of an electromagnetic wave, you need to know the speed of the wave and its
wavelength.
intensity.
refraction.
amplitude.
Light acts like
a wave.
a particle.

You are able to see the road cone in the picture because
orange light travels faster than any other light
the orange light was absorbed into the cone and all other colors were reflected
the orange light was reflected and all other colors were absorbed
only orange light struck the road cone
