Question

Page 4 SPtet Light waves has the highest equencyor Whieh ot the telowing smallest wavelength? (a) Radio Waves (b) Intrared Light (e) Gamma Rays (d) Ultraviolet Light (e) Microwaves Pts: which ot the tollowing statements regarding Light waves is FALSE (a) Light waves are how information about Electric and Magnetic Fields travel from one location to another (b) Polarization refers to how the amplitudes of a group of ght waves are oriented (e) Most Light is non-polarized and incoherent (d) The Energy for an Individual Light wave is directly proportional toits Wavelength (e) Light is an example of a transverse wave, where the direction of propagation is perpendicular to the direction(s) of oscillation 5 Pts: What is the frequency of Green Light that has a wavelength ot 500 nm?

Explanation / Answer

The Highest Frequency is for Gamma Rays. ANSWER is (c)

Option (d) is False

Frequency = c/wavelength = 3*10^8 / 500 *10^-9 = 6*10^14 Hz
