Which of the following statements about electromagnetic waves is incorrect?They can all travel in a vacuum and travel at the same speed in vacuumThey all transfer energy from one place to anotherThey can all be reflected, but only some electromagnetic waves can be refractedThey are all transverse waves2On the electromagnetic spectrum, what lies between infrared and radio waves?MicrowavesUltravioletGamma raysVisible light3A ray of visible light is incident onto a plane mirror. The angle between the incident ray and the surface of the mirror is 40°. What is the angle of reflection of this ray from the mirror?50°90°140°40°4Why does a green plant appear green when illuminated with white light?Because it reflects the green light that is incident onto itBecause it absorbs the green light that is incident onto itBecause it transmits the other colours in the visible spectrum that are incident onto itBecause it reflects the other colours in the visible spectrum that are incident onto it5A ray of light is travelling from a glass block into the surrounding air.
