Question 12 • FL-2003310-Physical Science - Teacher Directed Resource

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

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

Explanation

Ultraviolet light is beyond the violet end of the visible spectrum, so it has a shorter wavelength than the visible light humans can see. Since frequency and wavelength are inversely related, a shorter wavelength means a higher frequency. Therefore, bees can sense waves with a higher frequency and a shorter wavelength.
