Question 10 • ***CPS Online Chemistry fall – 1-2027
Wave Y and wave Z are two types of electromagnetic waves traveling through a vacuum. Suppose the frequency of wave Y is about three times greater than the frequency of wave Z.
Answer
A
It is the same for each wave because the amount of energy transferred is constant in all types of electromagnetic waves.
B
Wave Y transfers about one-third the amount of energy as wave Z because energy and frequency have an inverse relationship.
C
Wave Y transfers about three times the amount of energy as wave Z because energy and frequency have a direct relationship.
D
It is zero for each wave because when waves travel through a vacuum, they do not transfer energy.
