Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Radio waves can have very long wavelengths, reaching up to kilometers in length.

Answer: B
 Gamma rays have the shortest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum, measuring in fractions of nanometers.

Answer: A
 Infrared energy falls on the longer wavelength end of the spectrum, but still shorter than radio waves.

Answer: D
 Ultraviolet energy has a shorter wavelength than visible light but longer than X-rays.

Answer: F
 Lambda represents the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation and is typically measured in meters.

Answer: G
 Amplitude refers to the height of the wave and is a measure of the intensity of the electromagnetic radiation.

Answer: H
 Velocity refers to the speed at which electromagnetic radiation travels, which is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second (or the speed of light).
