Put the visible light colors in order from longest wavelength to shortest wavelength:

• Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet

• Red, yellow, Green, Indigo, Orange, Violet, Blue

• Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Orange, Yellow, Red

What part of the Electromagnetic Spectrum are the only waves we can see?

• Ultraviolet

• Visible Light

• Gamma Rays

The _________ determines the color of visible light.

• Wavelength

• Speed

• Amplitude

How are electromagnetic waves different from mechanical waves?

• They can transmit energy instead of matter

• They can have low frequency and a high frequency

• They can travel through a vacuum

As the frequency of an electromagnetic wave increases, the amount of energy in that wave:

• Stays the same

• Increases

• Decreases
