1

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

60% Answer Correctly

visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves

microwaves → radio waves → visible light

radio waves → visible light → gamma rays

infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light


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.


2

The heat from the Sun traveling to Earth is an example of which of the following?

85% Answer Correctly

radiation

convection

electricity

56% Answer Correctly

results

side effects

reactants

products


Solution

71% Answer Correctly

fog

front

thunderstorm

boundary


Solution

An air mass is a large body of air that has similar moisture (density) and temperature characteristics. A front is a transition zone between two air masses.
