Now you move 5 time closer to the light source (aka your distance is 1/5 its initial value).

The subscripts in the answer part follow the same rule as it was given for the wavelengths: 1 refers to the 1st wave, 2nd refers to the 2nd waves, 3rd refers to the 3rd wave, 4 refers to the 4th wave. Select all that apply: the 4th wave is an UV radiation. The 2nd frequency corresponds to the radio wave range. All the wavelengths correspond to the electromagnetic spectrum only one wavelength is part of the visible spectrum The radiation with the highest energy is the 1st wave. The radiation with the highest energy is the 4th wave. The relation between their frequencies is f₁ f2 > f3 < f4 The speeds of the waved depends on their wavelength. The 1st frequency corresponds to the radio wave range.arrow_forward
