Skill Building Light from the Sun Refresher

In Chapter 3, we discussed the various components of the electromagnetic spectrum. Consider these three types of radiant energy emitted by the Sun: infrared (IR), ultraviolet (UV), and visible.

  1. a. Arrange them in order of increasing wavelength.
  2. b. Arrange them in order of increasing energy.

Macmillan Learning Classify each statement about electromagnetic radiation as true or false. True Incorrect Radio waves have longer wavelengths than visible light. If the frequency of a wave decreases by some factor, the wavelength of that wave increases by the same factor. Infrared radiation is slower than visible light. The electromagnetic spectrum includes microwaves. Answer Bank False Ultraviolet radiation is lower in energy than visible light. Visible light has a lower frequency than infrared radiation.
Compare violet and orange light from the visible spectrum. Which has the longer wavelength? Which has the greater frequency? Which has the greater energy? 000 Answer Bank violet light orange light
CHEMWORK Check all the boxes that are true. (Select all that apply.) O The third energy level has three sublevels - the s, p, and d sublevels. In going from the 2s' state to the 1s' state, a hydrogen atom would emit a photon of light. O The hydrogen atom has quantized energy levels. In the buildup of atoms, the 3d orbital fills before the 4s orbital. Blue light is less energetic than red light. Submit
