TEACHING TRANSPARENCY WORKSHEET
The Electromagnetic Spectrum
Use with Chapter 5,
Section 5.1
1. What kinds of waves have the longest wavelength? What kinds of waves have the short-
est wavelength?
2. Which waves have the lowest frequency?
3. Which has a higher frequency: microwaves or X rays? Give the numerical frequency value of each.
4. Which waves can be seen by the eye?
5. Sequence the different segments of the visible spectrum in order from shortest wave-
length to longest wavelength.
6. Sequence the following types of waves from lowest frequency to highest frequency:
7. Compare the wavelengths and frequencies of each kind of wave. What is the relationship
between frequency and wavelength? (What does this mean in lay-man's terms ?)
8. Which electromagnetic wave has more energy associated with it: X-rays or Microwaves? Explain, in terms
of frequency and wavelength and its affect on energy.
