Select the correct order of waves on the EM Spectrum from low to high energy
Radio, Micro, Infra, Visible, Ultra, X-ray, Gamma
Gamma, X-ray, Ultra, Vis, Infra, Micro, Radio
Vis, Micro, Infra, Ultra, X-ray, Gamma, Radio
Micro, Radio, Vis, Infra, Ultra, X-ray, Gamma
Which has the LONGEST wavelength and, therefore, the LOWEST frequency/energy
Gamma Rays
Ultraviolet
Visible Light
Infrared rays
Which is true about the speed of radio waves compared to light waves? They are...
less energy & frequency, but still the SAME speed as the speed of light (300,000,000 m/s)
less energy & frequency, so LESS than the speed of light (300,000,000 m/s)
smaller wavelength, so LESS than the speed of light (300,000,000 m/s)
more energy & frequency, so MORE than the speed of light (300,000,000 m/s)
Wavelength and Frequency are related in that...
they are always the same
when one increases, the other decreases (inversely proportional)
there is no correlation
they both vary in an irregular pattern

λ=v/f
λ=f/v
λ=f-v
