Question

2.Electromagnetic waves are traveling straight down towards the center of the earth. For these waves...

A) visible light has a shorter wavelength than infrared light

B) if the electric field points north, the associated magnetic field points east

C) a high-frequency wave has a longer wavelength than a low-frequency wave

D) if the electric field points east, the associated magnetic field points north

E) green light has a higher frequency than violet light

3. [3pt] Electromagnetic waves are traveling straight down towards the center of the earth. For these waves...

A) Ultraviolet light has longer wavelength than infrared.

B) X-rays have longer wavelength than infrared waves.

C) Blue light has higher frequency than X-rays.

D) Green light has higher frequency than infrared waves.

E) Radio waves have higher frequency than ultraviolet rays.

Explanation / Answer

2)

A) visible light has a shorter wavelength than infrared light

because visible light has the wavelength range from 400 nm to 700 nm, while infrared have wavelengths ranging from 700 nm to 1 mm

3)

D) Greenlight has a higher frequency than infrared waves.

Greenlight frequency is from 540 - 580 THz

Infrared frequency is from 300 GHz to 430 THz
