Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from longest to shortest wavelength?
microwaves → radio waves → visible light |
|
visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves |
|
infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light |
|
radio waves → visible light → gamma rays |
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.

Atoms of an element whose atoms can vary in the number of neutrons in their nucleus are called which of the following?
isotopes |
|
products |
|
reactants |
|
ions |
The atomic mass of an element listed in the Periodic Table represents the average mass of a single atom of that element and is measured in atomic mass units (amu). This number is an average as some elements have isotopes with atoms that vary in their number of neturons and, therefore, differ in weight.
An element in the physical state of __________ maintains neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.
liquid |
|
gas |
|
plasma |
|
solid |
The gaseous state occurs at a higher temperature range than the solid and liquid states of the same substance. In this state, molecules flow very freely around each other and will spread out as far as they're able. Gases maintain neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.
Antigens in the blood determine:
blood type |
|
blood oxygen capacity |
|
Rh factor |
|
negative or positive status |
Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.
