EM spectrum Review

Describe the frequency of gamma ray.

• Gamma rays are the highest frequency wave with a frequency greater than 10²⁰ Hz.

• Gamma rays have a higher frequency than visible light but not ultra light.

• Gamma rays have the hottest temperatures.

• Gammas rays have the lowest frequency with a frequency of 10³ Hz.

Compare the frequency of ultraviolet light to microwaves.

• Ultraviolet rays have a higher frequency than microwaves.

• Ultraviolet rays have a lower frequency than microwaves.

• Ultraviolet rays have a taller frequency than microwaves.

• Ultraviolet rays have a shorter frequency than microwaves.

What type of wave has the longest wavelength?

• Radio

• Gamma

• Visible Light

• Ultraviolet

What type of wave has the hottest temperatures?

• Gamma Waves

• Radio Waves

• Infrared

• Ultraviolet

Compare the wavelengths of x-rays to infrared waves.

• X-rays have longer wavelengths than infrared waves .

• X-rays have shorter wavelengths than infrared waves .

Describe ultraviolet light.

• Higher frequency than visible infrared, microwave and radio waves. Humans cannot see ultraviolet light but other animals can.

• Lower frequency than visible infrared, microwave and radio waves. Humans can see ultraviolet light but other animals cannot.

• Ultraviolet light is about the size of humans.

• Ultraviolet light is about the size of a honeybee.

List all of the wave types humans can see without the use of a device.

• Visible light only.

• Radio, microwave, and infrared.

• X-ray and gamma rays.

• All of the EMS

Compare the temperatures of visible light and microwaves

• Visible light has higher temperatures than microwaves.

• Visible light has lower temperatures than microwaves.

• They have the same temperatures.

Compare the size of gamma rays to the size of radio waves.

• Gamma rays are smaller than radio waves.

• Gamma rays are larger than radio waves.

• Gamma rays are the same size as radio waves.

How does the size of the wave impact the frequency of the wave?

• The smaller the wave the higher the frequency .

• The smaller the wave the lower the frequency .

• Size has no impact on frequency.
