How are Electromagnetic waves different from Mechanical waves?

• EM waves have very short wavelengths

• EM waves transmit energy instead of matter

• EM waves can travel through the vacuum of space (without particles)

• EM waves can change direction by reflection

Wavelength and Frequency are related in that...

• they are always the same

• when one increases, the other decreases (inversely proportional)

• there is no correlation

• they both vary in an irregular pattern

High frequency in EM waves equals

• high energy and short wavelength

• high energy and long wavelength

• low energy and short wavelength

• low energy and long wavelength

• speed

• amplitude

• particles of the medium

Put the visible light colors in order from SHORTEST wavelength (highest frequency) to longest wavelength (lowest frequency)

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

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

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

As wavelength increases, frequency decreases, with frequency decreasing, energy increases.

• True

• False

• Insufficient data

Tags

NGSS.HS-PS4-1

It is the entire range of wavelengths or frequencies of electromagnetic radiation

• electromagnetic waves

• electromagnetic spectrum

• electromagnetic collection

NGSS.HS-PS4-4

EM Waves with the longest wavelength

• radio

• infrared

• gamma

• x-ray

Tags

NGSS.HS-PS4-1

Xrays and Gamma Rays have the highest frequencies, therefore, highest energies.

• True

• False
