Question 2 • Physical Science

Bees can see into the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Compared with humans, bees can sense electromagnetic waves that have

Answer
A
a higher frequency and a shorter wavelength.
B
a lower frequency and a longer wavelength.
C
a lower frequency and a shorter wavelength.
D
a higher frequency and a longer wavelength.

Explanation

Ultraviolet light has a higher frequency and a shorter wavelength than visible light at the violet end of the spectrum. Since humans cannot see ultraviolet but bees can, bees can sense these higher-frequency, shorter-wavelength electromagnetic waves.
