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

60% Answer Correctly

radio waves → visible light → gamma rays

infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light

microwaves → radio waves → visible light

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.

212°F is how many °C?

77% Answer Correctly

-100

0

\(135 {5 \over 9}\)

100


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 100\)

81% Answer Correctly

exoskeleton

vertebrate

Solution

An exoskeleton (external skeleton) is common in arthropods like insects, spiders, and crustaceans.


4

A person's genotype is their genetic makeup and includes:

82% Answer Correctly

phenotypes

dominant alleles

both dominant and recessive alleles

recessive alleles


Solution

A person's genotype is their genetic makeup and includes both dominant and recessive alleles. Phenotype is how the genes express themselves in physical characteristics.

79% Answer Correctly

atom

proton

electron

neutron


Solution

A neutron is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It is neutral as it carries no electric charge.
