The waves of energy are called electromagnetic (EM) because they have oscillating electric and magnetic fields. Scientists classify them by their frequency or wavelength, going from high to low frequency (short to long wavelength). For a wave with a high frequency, it has a lot of energy, so it could be a gamma ray or x-ray. If it has low frequency, it has less energy and could be a TV or radio wave.

Which of these types of electromagnetic radiation has the lowest energy?

Scuba diving is a form of underwater diving in which a diver carries his own breathing gas, usually in the form of a tank of compressed air. A gas expands to fill the shape and volume of its container. For this reason, gases can also be compressed so that a relatively large amount of gas can be forced into a small container. Gases are compressible because most of the volume of a gas is composed of the large amounts of empty space between the gas molecules. True or False?

First, a green plant takes in energy from sunlight. The plant uses this energy and a molecule called chlorophyll (which gives plants their green color) to build sugars from water and carbon dioxide. This process is called…
