Front

A photon will be produced when:

Back

Front

In the Electromagnetic Spectrum, the waves with higher frequencies have __________ energy.

Back

more

Front

Which color has the shortest wavelength of visible light?

Back

Violet

Front

If an AM radio station broadcasts at 995 kHz, what is the wavelength of this radiation?

Back

301 m

Front

What is the relationship between frequency and wavelength in electromagnetic waves?

Back

Frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength; as frequency increases, wavelength decreases.

Front

Define electromagnetic spectrum.

Back

The range of all types of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, radio waves, X-rays, etc.

Front

What is the speed of light in a vacuum?

Back

Approximately 3.00 x 10^8 m/s.

Front

What happens to an electron when it absorbs energy?

Back

It moves from a lower energy level to a higher energy level.

Front

What is the formula to calculate wavelength from frequency?

Back

Wavelength (λ) = Speed of Light (c) / Frequency (f).
