Electromagnetic Spectrum Quiz

Electromagnetic Spectrum

• The electromagnetic spectrum encompasses all types of electromagnetic radiation.
• Visible light exists between infrared and ultraviolet radiation, wavelengths perceivable by the human eye.
• Infrared and ultraviolet waves are at the opposite ends of the visible light spectrum.
• Radio waves and gamma rays lie on the opposite extremes of the spectrum, encompassing varying wavelengths.

Electromagnetic Radiation Types and Wavelengths

• Visible light is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
• Different colors of visible light have varying wavelengths.
• Red light has the longest wavelength, while violet light has the shortest.
• Ultraviolet radiation has shorter wavelengths compared to infrared radiation.
• X-rays and gamma rays have extremely short wavelengths.

Electromagnetic Radiation in Relation to Human Vision

• The human eye can only perceive visible light.
• Radio waves, microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays are not visible to the naked eye.

Electromagnetic Spectrum Sequence

• The increasing order of electromagnetic waves by wavelength is radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.
• The correct order of increasing frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum is infrared, radio waves, ultraviolet, X-rays, and microwaves.
• The correct order of increasing frequency is gamma, X-ray, ultraviolet, visible, and infrared radiation.

Wavelength and Frequency

• Red light has a longer wavelength than blue light.
• Wavelength and frequency are inversely related.
• The longer the wavelength, the lower the frequency.

SONAR Principle

• SONAR uses reflected sound waves to measure underwater depths.
• Frequency and energy are linked in sound waves.
• Frequency = 288 Hz
• Speed of sound in water = 1.45x10³ m/s

Types of Radiation and Hot Objects

• Infrared waves are most noticeable when emitted by hot objects.

Plane Mirrors

• Plane mirrors always produce an erect, virtual, and same size image.

Laws of Reflection

• The Law of Reflection explains the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection.

Multiple Mirrors

• Increasing the angle between mirrors increases the number of images produced.
• The number of images formed changes as the angle between mirrors varies.

Mirrors and Image Sizes

• An object placed at the focal point of a concave mirror forms an image of the same size as the object.
• A concave mirror produces an image that is the same size as the object when the object is placed at the focus.

Pencil in Water Appearance

• A pencil placed in water appears to be broken due to the refraction of light.

Water Surface Reflection

• Regular reflection of light occurs on a still water surface; enabling clear visibility.

Electromagnetic Radiation Harmful Effects

• X-rays are the most harmful type of electromagnetic radiation.
• X rays, UV, and gamma rays are high-energy types of electromagnetic radiation.

Optics: Image Formation

• Image Formation with Plane mirrors
• Image formation with Concave mirrors
• Image formation with Convex mirrors
• Types of images formed by mirrors.

Magnetic and Electric Properties

• The paperclip begins to fall when the magnet is lifted due to a change in the magnetic properties of the clip.
• A change in magnetic field strength, potential energy or gravitational field all affect how the clip is affected.
• Bar magnets with identical poles repel; bar magnets with opposite poles attract.

Relay circuit Components

• Different metals or materials have different magnetic properties.
