 At this point, let’s sum up what you have learned. Underline the word that will make the
statements correct.

The electromagnetic spectrum is the arrangement of 1. (electromagnetic waves, ultraviolet

radiation), which are waves that are created with changing electric field and 2. (electric charge,
magnetic field). EM waves travel on 3. (air, vacuum) at a constant speed of 4. (3 x108 m/s, 8 x103 m/s).
The electromagnetic spectrum is arranged in a manner of 5. (decreasing, increasing) wavelength, 6.
(decreasing, increasing) frequency and 7. (decreasing, increasing) energy. 8. (Gamma ray, Radio
wave) has the longest wavelength, lowest frequency and lowest energy among all EM waves. The 9.
(radio wave, visible light) is the only EM wave that can be seen by our naked eye, whereas 10. (red,
violet) has the longest wavelength and 11. (red, violet) has the greatest frequency. On the other hand,
12. (gamma ray, radio wave) has the shortest wavelength and highest frequency; which carries the
highest 13. (energy, wavelength) among all EM waves. Therefore 14. (gamma ray, radio wave) has the
lowest ionizing radiation, while 15. (gamma ray, radio wave) has the highest ionizing radiation.
