More questions about Electromagnetic Spectrum

These visible examples show the question style. LearnClash turns the full topic into ranked duels and spaced repetition.

  1. 1 Easy

    Which light can bees see that humans can't?

    Answer: Ultraviolet

    Why: Bees' eyes sense ultraviolet, blue and green but not red, so a pure red flower looks black to a bee.

  2. 2 Medium

    What lets AM radio reach much farther at night?

    Answer: The ionosphere

    Why: By day the ionosphere's low D layer soaks up AM signals; after dark it fades, so the waves bounce off higher layers far away.

  3. 3 Hard

    How long are the radio waves given off by cold hydrogen gas?

    Answer: 21 cm

    Why: These radio waves slip through the dust that hides much of the Milky Way, letting astronomers map its hydrogen-rich spiral arms.

  4. 4 Easy

    What does an airport scanner use to see inside bags?

    Answer: X-rays

    Why: By comparing high- and low-energy X-rays, scanners color organic items such as food orange and metal objects blue.

  5. 5 Medium

    How can you spot a TV remote's invisible flashes?

    Answer: With a phone camera

    Why: Silicon camera chips sense near-infrared light out to about 1,100 nanometers, well past the limit of human eyes.

  6. 6 Hard

    About how long are the waves of a 100 MHz FM station?

    Answer: 3 m

    Why: Most countries broadcast FM between about 87.5 and 108 MHz, so their stations' waves are roughly 2.8 to 3.4 meters long.
