Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from longest to shortest wavelength?

60% Answer Correctly

infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light

microwaves → radio waves → visible light

radio waves → visible light → gamma rays

visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves


Solution

The electromagnetic spectrum covers all possible wavelengths and frequencies of radiation.  From lowest frequency (longest wavelength) to highest frequency (shortest wavelength) radiation: radio waves → microwaves → infrared waves → visible light → ultraviolet light → X-rays → gamma rays.


4

Which of the following does not represent the freezing point of water?

49% Answer Correctly

273K

0°C

0°F

32°F


Solution

The Fahrenheit scale fixes the freezing point of water at 32°F, the Celsuis scale at 0°C, and the Kelvin scale at 273K.

Blood is circulated throughout the body via:

37% Answer Correctly

capillaries

arterioles

veins

aorta


Solution
