Physics: Electromagnetic Spectrum from Longest to Shortest Wavelength Practice

List the seven major regions of the electromagnetic spectrum from longest wavelength to shortest wavelength.

Put these waves in order from longest wavelength to shortest wavelength: ultraviolet, radio waves, infrared, gamma rays.

A student writes this order from longest to shortest wavelength: microwaves, radio waves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, gamma rays. Identify the mistake and correct the order.

Which has the shorter wavelength: visible light or X-rays? Explain your answer using the electromagnetic spectrum order.

The visible light spectrum is usually ordered by wavelength from red to violet. Which color of visible light has the longest wavelength, and which has the shortest wavelength?

Rank these from longest wavelength to shortest wavelength: blue light, red light, microwaves, ultraviolet.

Electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed in a vacuum. If wavelength decreases, what happens to frequency? Use this idea to explain why gamma rays have higher frequency than radio waves.

Arrange these applications from longest wavelength radiation to shortest wavelength radiation: dental imaging, TV broadcasting, heat lamps, sterilizing equipment that uses ultraviolet light.

A diagram shows wavelength decreasing from left to right. Where should infrared be placed: between microwaves and visible light, between visible light and ultraviolet, or between X-rays and gamma rays?

Two electromagnetic waves are compared. Wave A is ultraviolet radiation, and Wave B is infrared radiation. Which wave has the longer wavelength, and which has the higher energy?

Correctly complete this sequence from longest wavelength to shortest wavelength: radio waves, microwaves, blank, visible light, blank, X-rays, gamma rays.

A science article says that gamma rays have the longest wavelength and lowest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum. Explain why this statement is incorrect.
