Electromagnetc spectrum

Question 1

list the waves on electromagnetic spectrum from lowest frequency to highest frequency

Answer 1

Radio, microwave, infrared, visible light, uv, xray, gamma

Question 2

this wave has the highest frequency and the shortest wave length

Answer 2

gamma wave

Question 3

this wave has the lowest frequency and the longest wavelength

Answer 3

radio wave

Question 4

What do all EM waves have in a vaccuum

Answer 4

speed

Question 5

what are EM waves drawn as and what are they really?

Answer 5

transverse but are really transverse waves because their particles move perpendicular to direction of energy

Question 6

what is the only part of EM spectrum that is visible to naked eye

Answer 6

visible light

Question 7

What causes the human eye to see different colors?

Answer 7

Different wavelengths of light will be reflected into eyes colors that aren’t seen are absorbed into object

Question 8

does wearing a black tee in the summer make you hotter or cooler and why

Answer 8

hotter because black absobs all of the sun’s energy and colors

Question 9

what are four things do EM waves all have in commin

Answer 9

same speed, they are all emitted by sun and other stars, they are all classified by their wavelength/frequency, and do not require a medium to travel

Question 10

what does the law of reflection state

Answer 10

the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection

Question 11

an object that allows all of the light pass though it

Answer 11

transparent

Question 12

and object that allows some light to pass through it

Answer 12

translucent

Question 13

an object that allows no light to pass through it

Answer 13

opaque

Question 14

the bending of a light wave as it enters a new medium

Answer 14

refraction

Question 15

refraction explains why a spoon looks bent in water

Answer 15

true

Question 16

refraction happens light_when it passes from air into water

Answer 16

slows down

Question 17

what are 2 forms of energy

Answer 17

sound & light
