Question

Sort the sentences based on whether they describe radio waves, visible light waves, or both.

Answer 1

The electromagnetic spectrum includes a continuous spectrum of wavelengths that include:

Radio waves, microwaves, infrared light, visible, ultraviolet, X-rays, gamma rays

The wavelength decreases from radio waves to gamma rays, whereas the energy increases along the same direction.

In the given example, radio waves have a lower energy and higher wavelength than visible light. The latter can be perceived by the human eye, whereas radio waves are not visible to the human eye.

1) They have colors = visible light

2) They can travel in a vacuum  = both

3) They have energy = both

4) They’re used to learn about  dust and gas clouds = radio waves

5) They’re used to find the  temperature of stars  = visible light

6)They’re invisible = radio waves
