Which type of electromagnetic wave can cause skin cancer?
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation can cause skin cancer.
What is the relationship between wavelength and energy in the electromagnetic spectrum?
Energy is inversely proportional to wavelength; shorter wavelengths correspond to higher energy.
Which color of visible light has the highest frequency?
Violet light has the highest frequency.
Which electromagnetic wave has a longer wavelength than another?
Radio waves have a longer wavelength than microwaves, and red light has a longer wavelength than violet light.
Which wave has the longest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum?
Radio waves have the longest wavelength.
Which color of visible light has the lowest frequency?
Red light has the lowest frequency.
Which color of visible light has the shortest wavelength?
Violet light has the shortest wavelength.
Which wave has the highest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum?
Gamma rays have the highest frequency.
Which color of visible light has the shortest wavelength?
