WorksheetsElectromagnetic Wave
Total questions: 20
Worksheet time: 10mins
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
refraction
intensity
amplitude
Infrared rays have a shorter wavelength than
Ultraviolet ray
X-rays
gamma rays
radio waves
The full range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation is called
visible light
the electromagnetic spectrum
radio waves
invisible radiation
The waves with the longest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum
Infrared rays
gamma rays
radio waves
X-rays
The visible light spectrum ranges between
radio waves and X-rays
infrared rays and ultraviolet rays
television waves and infrared rays
ultraviolet rays and gamma rays
What happens to frequency when the energy increases?
it increases
it stays the same
it decreases
What part of the wave is shown at letter A?
crest
wavelength
trough
frequency
Which part of the wave is shown at letter B?
crest
wavelength resting point
trough
Which part of the wave is shown at letter C?
crest
resting point
wavelength
amplitude
What does a wave carry?
boats
energy
matter
water
Which wave has a longer wavelength?
wave C
wave D
Which wave has a greater frequency?
wave B
wave C
a form of electromagnetic radiation that doesn't require a medium to pass through
sound wave
transverse wave
light wave
compressional wave
Select the correct order of waves on the EMS from low to high energy
Radio wave, Microwave, Infrared, Visible, Ultraviolet, X-ray, Gamma
Visible, Microwave, Infrared, Ultraviolet, X-ray, Gamma, Radio wave
Gamma, X-ray, Ultraviolet, Visible, Infrared, Microwave, Radio wave
Microwave, Radio wave, Visible, Infrared, Ultraviolet, X-ray, Gamma
Which has the LONGEST wavelength and, therefore, the LOWEST frequency/energy
Gamma Rays
Visible Light
Ultraviolet
Infrared rays
Which of the following electromagnetic waves has the lowest frequency?
gamma ray
visible light wave
infrared wave
microwave
High frequency in EM waves equals
high energy and short wavelength
low energy and short wavelength
high energy and long wavelength
low energy and long wavelength
Which section of the spectrum is the ONLY one we can see?
X-rays
Gamma Rays
Visible Light
Ultraviolet Rays
As the frequency of an electromagnetic wave increases, the amount of energy in that wave
increases
stays the same
decreases
