Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from lowest to highest frequency?

63% Answer Correctly

visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves

microwaves → radio waves → visible light

infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light

radio waves → visible light → gamma rays


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.

59% Answer Correctly

all of these

decomposers

producers

Which of these parts of digestion takes place in the mouth?

64% Answer Correctly

absorbing nutrients

breaking down starches

breaking down proteins

breaking down fats


Solution

Digestion begins in the mouth where the teeth and tongue break down food mechanically through chewing and saliva, via the enzyme salivary amylase, starts to break starches down chemically. From the mouth, food travels down the esophagus where contractions push the food into the stomach.


4

Elements that belong to the same period in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same number of:

50% Answer Correctly

atomic mass units

electrons

electron shells

protons


Solution

The rows of the Periodic Table are called periods and contain elements that have the same number of electron shells ordered from lower to higher atomic number. 


5

"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?

69% Answer Correctly

third

fourth

second

first


Solution

Newton's third law of motion states that For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When an object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts a force of equal magnitude in the opposite direction on the first object.
