Front

What are gamma rays?

Back

Gamma rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation with the highest energy and shortest wavelength, making them the most dangerous EM waves.

Front

True or False: The color blue has more energy than the color red.

Back

True

Front

What is the relationship between wavelength, frequency, and energy?

Back

A wave with a large wavelength will have a low frequency and low energy.

Front

Which EM waves have the lowest frequency?

Back

Radio waves have the lowest frequency among electromagnetic waves.

Front

What electromagnetic wave has the longest wavelengths and lowest frequencies?

Back

Radio Waves have the longest wavelengths and lowest frequencies.

Front

What is the electromagnetic spectrum?

Back

The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all types of EM radiation, ordered by wavelength and frequency.

Front

What type of EM waves are used in microwave ovens?

Back

Microwaves are the type of EM waves used in microwave ovens.

Front

What is the frequency of visible light compared to radio waves?

Back

Visible light has a higher frequency than radio waves.

Front

What are X-rays used for?

Back

X-rays are used in medical imaging to view the inside of the body.

Front

What is infrared radiation?

Back

Infrared radiation is a type of EM radiation with wavelengths longer than visible light but shorter than microwaves.
