- Q1The chart below shows part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Which statement is true regarding this part of the spectrum?Violet is not able to be seen by humans.Violet has the lowest energy levels.Violet has the longest wavelength.Violet has the highest frequency.120s
- Q2The diagram below shows a wave. The features of the wave are labeled A, B, C, and D. Which label identifies the wavelength?CBDA120s
- Q3Which of the following shows the correct order of the electromagnetic spectrum, from lowest to highest frequency?Radio, visible, microwave, infrared, UV, x-ray, gammaGamma, UV, microwave, infrared, radio, x-ray, visibleVisible, UV, infrared, x-ray, microwave, radio, gammaRadio, microwave, infrared, visible, UV, x-ray, gamma120s
- Q4The energy generated by the sun travels to Earth as electromagnetic waves of varying lengths. Which statement describes an electromagnetic wave with a long wavelength?It has a low frequency and needs a medium to travel through.It has a high frequency and high energy.It has a high frequency and low energy.It has a low frequency and can travel through a vacuum.120s
- Q5Electromagnetic energy travels through space in waves. The electromagnetic spectrum includes all electromagnetic waves, arranged according to frequency and wavelength. Which of these is an example of an electromagnetic wave?Gravitational pullSound waveRadio waveOcean wave120s
- Q6The transfer of energy as electromagnetic waves is called radiation. Not all electromagnetic waves emit the same radiation. What determines the radiation that an electromagnetic wave emits?Its speedIts visibilityIts wavelengthIts amplitude120s
- Q7The visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum consists of the colors we see in a rainbow. Which color of visible light has the longest wavelength?VioletGreenBlueRed120s
- Q8The diagram represents the electromagnetic spectrum. What is the relationship between frequency and wavelength for electromagnetic waves?Frequency equals wavelength.As frequency increases, wavelength increases.The relationship depends on the speed of the wave.As frequency increases, wavelength decreases.120s
- Q9What property of the magnifying lens is most responsible for allowing it to magnify the penny?It can increase the wavelength of light.It can increase the intensity of light.It can refract light.It can reflect light.120s
- Q10Sonia tapped one end of a long wooden table. Sanjay and Marc listened for the sounds. Sanjay pressed his ear to the table. Marc did not. Sanjay heard the taps before Marc did. Why did Sanjay hear the sound before Marc?The frequency of the taps was different in wood and in air.Sound travels through wood and air at different speeds.Particles of wood are farther apart than particles of air.The taps only made the table vibrate; they did not make the air vibrate.120s
- Q11Warren is tuning his guitar. He notices that as he tightens the string, the pitch of the string increases. Which best explains why tightening the string raises the pitch?It improves the string's ability to make sounds.It makes the string more flexible.It increases the frequency of the string's vibration.It allows sound waves to move along the string more easily.120s
- Q12Arianna is experimenting with different materials to see which one will transmit sound the fastest. Through which of the following materials will sound waves travel the fastest?ConcreteWaterAirOil120s
- Q13Heather puts a straw into a glass of water. She notices that the straw appears to be broken when she looks through the glass and the water from the side. Which term best explains why the straw looks like it is broken?AbsorptionTransmissionRefractionScattering120s
- Q14Marla can see the reflection of clouds on a quiet pond of water. Which diagram best shows what happens to the light?CBAD120s
- Q15Calvin shines a thin beam of light onto a material, and the light refracts. Which diagram best shows what happens to the light?CDBA120s
