The Electromagnetic Spectrum

Question 10 • PARTA - EOP: PGCPS BIOGEOCHEM CR (FALL2026) - 798113

Which describes the changes in visible light moving from red to violet?

Answer
T
The energy increases.
T
The speed decreases.
T
The wavelength increases.
T
The frequency decreases.

Explanation

Moving from red to violet, the frequency of visible light increases and its wavelength decreases. Since photon energy is proportional to frequency (E = hf), the energy increases. Thus, “The energy increases” is correct; the speed of light in a vacuum stays constant.
