Electromagnetic Spectrum and Light Properties Quiz

Red light has the longest wavelength in the visible spectrum.

The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second.

Refraction is the phenomenon where light bends as it passes from one medium to another.

Lumen is the unit of luminous flux, measuring the total visible light emitted by a source.

Blue light has the highest frequency among visible colors.

Food microwaves use microwaves, a type of electromagnetic radiation, for heating.

Frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz), representing the number of cycles per second.

Gamma rays have the highest frequency among electromagnetic waves.

The wavelength of light decreases as it passes from air into water due to refraction.

Frequency and wavelength of light are inversely proportional to each other according to the wave equation.

MRI scans use radio waves for imaging.

A concave lens corrects nearsightedness by diverging light before it enters the eye.

Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength among electromagnetic waves.

Diffraction is the phenomenon where light spreads out after passing through a narrow slit.

The blue color of the sky is a result of Rayleigh scattering.

The cornea helps in focusing light onto the retina in the human eye.

The color of an opaque object is determined by its absorption spectrum, indicating the wavelengths it absorbs.

The iris regulates the amount of light entering the human eye.

Blue light has the highest energy per photon among visible colors.

The retina in the human eye detects and processes light, converting it into neural signals for the brain.
