2.

Electromagnetic Waves are what type of waves?

a)

Surface

b)

Longitudinal

c)

Transverse

d)

Mechanical

3.

Electromagnetic Waves are NOT considered Mechanical Waves because......

a)

They can only penetrate certain kinds of matter

b)

They can cause harm to living cells after prolonged exposure

c)

They don't require a medium to travel through

d)

Because you can't surf on them (Shut up Spicolli!)

4.

The photoelectric effect demonstrates which model regarding wave behavior?

(a)  

5.

What is The Law Of Waves?

a)

If you have waves....SURF! (SHUT UP SPICOLLI!)

b)

As wavelength increases, frequency increases

c)

As wavelength decreases, frequency decreases

d)

As wavelength decreases, frequency increases

e)

As wavelength increases, frequency decreases

6.

What form of electromagnetic waves have the longest wavelengths and lowest frequencies

(a)  

7.

The form of electromagnetic waves are used to cook food, used in cellular / smart phones, they can also be manipulated to be used in RADAR or LIDAR

a)

Radio waves

b)

Microwaves

c)

Infrared Waves

d)

Visible Light

8.

This type of electromagnetic wave is used to take pictures which show temperature. What are they? (Not the name of the picture, the name of the wave)

(a)  

9.

The smallest portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that we can actually see is called what?

(a)  

10.

These types of electromagnetic waves have lots of energy and can cause damage to human tissue over a prolonged time. Despite this, short exposure to them is not dangerous and they are often used to examine a human body's internal structure as they can penetrate all but the most dense of matter. What are they?

(a)  

11.

These waves have the shortest wavelength of all electromagnetic waves but the greatest frequency. They are used here on Earth to examine a body's internal structures but they can also be found in space, what type of wave are they?

(a)  

12.

The difference between electric radios and smart phones is what?

(a)  

13.

Which of the following is NOT an electromaGNETIC WAVE?

a)

Visible Light

b)

Sound

c)

Gamma

d)

X-Ray

14.

True OR False....Electric and Magnetic fields produce each other repeatedly.

a)

True

b)

False

15.

A polarizing filter does what?

a)

It filters out all UV rays and only lets the good light through.

b)

It creates a two-way filter that only lets waves that are vibrating go through in two directions.

c)

It only lets waves through that are vibrating in a certain direction.

d)

It lets NOTHING through and polarizes everything

16.

What would you add to the picture below to ensure that light does NOT hit the final screen?

a)

Another light bulb

b)

Another filter, but one with vertical slits

c)

Another filter, but one with horizontal slits

d)

A heat source

17.

Visible Light is a mixture of:

a)

Reflection and Refraction

b)

Atoms and molecules

c)

Many colors (ooooh! Pretty colors!)

d)

Ultraviolet and non-violet rays

18.

The Sun emits Ultraviolet waves. We know that these can be harmful to living cells and after prolonged exposure, cause cancer. They are able to reach the Earth because:

a)

Their wavelengths are short, which makes them have higher amounts of energy

b)

They have more energy than infrared rays

c)

They have a lower frequency than visible light

d)

They do not require a medium to travel through

e)

Gingies be crispy
