Choose TRUE if the statement is correct, FALSE if otherwise. The shorter the wavelength between waves, the higher its frequency. EM is composed of frequencies that are characterizes by solar radiation. Frequency is the distance between one point of a wave to the same point in the next wave. The amount of energy in the EM wave decreases as wavelengths get smaller and tighter. EM waves with low frequencies have high energies, so are able to cause the most damage.
Question
Choose TRUE if the statement is correct, FALSE if otherwise. The shorter the wavelength between waves, the higher its frequency. EM is composed of frequencies that are characterizes by solar radiation. Frequency is the distance between one point of a wave to the same point in the next wave. The amount of energy in the EM wave decreases as wavelengths get smaller and tighter. EM waves with low frequencies have high energies, so are able to cause the most damage.
Solution
-
TRUE - The shorter the wavelength between waves, the higher its frequency. This is a fundamental principle of wave theory.
-
TRUE - EM (Electromagnetic) is composed of frequencies that are characterized by solar radiation. Solar radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation.
-
FALSE - Frequency is not the distance between one point of a wave to the same point in the next wave. That is the definition of wavelength. Frequency refers to the number of complete wave cycles per second.
-
FALSE - The amount of energy in the EM wave increases as wavelengths get smaller and tighter. This is because energy is inversely proportional to the wavelength.
-
FALSE - EM waves with low frequencies have low energies, not high. Therefore, they are less likely to cause damage. High frequency EM waves, such as X-rays and gamma rays, have high energies and can cause the most damage.
