Question

Which of the following statements correctly describe the various forms of EM radiation listed above?A) They have different wavelengths.B) They have different frequencies.C) They propagate at different speeds through a vacuum depending on their frequency.D) They propagate at different speeds through nonvacuum media depending on both their frequency and the material in which they travel.E) They require different media to propagate.

Answer 1

Answer: A and B

Explanation:

Electromagnetic radiations are examples of electromagnetic waves with increasing frequency and decreasing wavelength in the following order radiowaves - infrared waves - visible lights - ultraviolet rays- x-rays - gamma rays.

They did not require material medium for their propagation.

The statement above shows that EM radiations possesses different wavelengths and frequency.
