The Electromagnetic Spectrum

Question 5 • PARTA - EOP: PGCPS BIOGEOCHEM CR (FALL2026) - 798113

Some snakes have special sensory organs that detect the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Compared with human vision, these snakes can sense electromagnetic waves that have

Answer
a
a lower frequency and a shorter wavelength.
a
a higher frequency and a longer wavelength.
a
a lower frequency and a longer wavelength.
a
a higher frequency and a shorter wavelength.

Explanation

Infrared waves have lower frequency and longer wavelength than visible light, which humans see. Frequency and wavelength are inversely related: as frequency decreases, wavelength increases. Therefore, the snakes can sense waves with a lower frequency and a longer wavelength, choice C.
