Question
Which statement is true about the patterns shown on the electromagnetic spectrum?
Responses
A As frequency increases, energy and wavelength decrease.As frequency increases, energy and wavelength decrease.
B As wavelength decreases, energy and frequency increase.As wavelength decreases, energy and frequency increase.
C As wavelength increases, radiant energy and frequency increase.As wavelength increases, radiant energy and frequency increase.
D As frequency decreases, radiant energy and wavelength increase.

Answer 1

The correct statement about the patterns shown on the electromagnetic spectrum is:

B: As wavelength decreases, energy and frequency increase.

In the electromagnetic spectrum, as you move from longer wavelengths (like radio waves) to shorter wavelengths (like gamma rays), the frequency increases and the energy increases as well. This means that shorter wavelengths have higher energy and higher frequencies.
