Answer 6

Lightning contains gamma rays. Based on the position of gamma rays in the electromagnetic spectrum, does lightning have more or less energy than a radio?

(1 point)
Responses

Lightning has more energy than the radio because gamma rays have a shorter wavelength.
Lightning has more energy than the radio because gamma rays have a shorter wavelength.

Lightning has less energy than the radio because gamma rays have a shorter wavelength.
Lightning has less energy than the radio because gamma rays have a shorter wavelength.

Lightning has less energy than the radio because gamma rays have a longer wavelength.
Lightning has less energy than the radio because gamma rays have a longer wavelength.

Lightning has more energy than the radio because gamma rays have a longer wavelength.

Answer 7

Lightning has more energy than the radio because gamma rays have a shorter wavelength.

Answer 8

Waves have energy that causes particles in matter to vibrate. So, it stands to reason that(1 point)
Responses

the lower the energy, the faster the particles vibrate (which means a lower frequency).
the lower the energy, the faster the particles vibrate (which means a lower frequency).

the lower the energy, the slower the particles vibrate (which means a higher frequency).
the lower the energy, the slower the particles vibrate (which means a higher frequency).

the higher the energy, the faster the particles vibrate (which means a higher frequency).
the higher the energy, the faster the particles vibrate (which means a higher frequency).

the higher the energy, the slower the particles vibrate (which means a lower frequency).

Answer 9

the higher the energy, the faster the particles vibrate (which means a higher frequency).
