Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from lowest to highest frequency?
microwaves → radio waves → visible light |
|
radio waves → visible light → gamma rays |
|
visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves |
|
infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light |
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.
Veins carry blood __________ the heart.
away from |
|
within |
|
all of these |
|
back to |
Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.
Which of the following is not a method of heat transfer?
convection |
|
reflection |
|
radiation |
|
conduction |
Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments through conduction, convection, or radiation.
Which of the following would be used in eye glasses to correct farsightedness?
convex lens |
|
concave mirror |
|
concave lens |
|
convex mirror |
Unlike curved mirrors that operate on the principle of reflection, lenses utilize refraction. A convex lens is thicker in the middle than on the edges and converges light while a concave lens is thicker on the edges than in the middle and diffuses light. A common use for curved lenses is in eye glasses where a convex lens is used to correct farsightedness and a concave lens is used to correct nearsightedness.
Which of these represents the path of blood flow through the heart?
left atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle |
|
right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle |
|
left atrium → left ventricle → lungs → right atrium → right ventricle |
|
right atrium → left ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle |
To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.
