What is meant by the term diversity as it relates to organisms?
The difference among organisms.
Which two waves lie at the ends of the visible spectrum?
Red & violet.
What is the slight difference among objects or organisms that are the same basic type?
VARIATION
How does Maxwell found that electromagnetic radiations travel with the speed of light?
Light is a form electromagnetic radiation. Maxwell predicted the speed of an EM wave, and it was found to be identical to that of light.It arose in the form of constants in the wave equation that falls out of Maxwell's four equations that summarize the relationships among electrodynamic and magnetic fields.
What is the difference between prokarytes and ekaryotes?
Prokaryotes have no nucleus while eukaryotes do, among other differences.

Is infrared radiation part of the electromagnetic radiation?
Yes it is. Infrared is the same physical phenomenon as radio, light, and microwaves. The only difference among them is their wavelengths (frequencies). Infrared is our name for electromagnetic radiation with wavelength just longer than red light ... long enough so that our eyes don't respond to it.
The essential difference among lightheatradioadn other forms of electromagnetic energy is whatfrequenieswavelenghtsintensities?
Frequency and Wavelength.
What waves have the shortest wavelength and the highest frequency?
Gamma rays
Red light and white light reflect?
All of the electromagnetic spectrum can be reflected. White light is a combination of all colors. They all reflect, red is among them.
What spectrum is filterd in the ozone layer?
The sun rays consist of various spectrum of rays. Among them UV spectrum is filtered.
What does ultraviolet rays and infrared rays have in common?
Infrared (IR) light, visible light and X-rays are all electromagnetic radiation, and the only difference is in the frequency (or wavelength) of the energy. They are listed here in the question in order of lower to higher frequency, and that means longer to shorter wavelength.

How are radio waves and microwaves alike?
Their frequencies are quite different. Microwaves are electromagnetic radiation with frequencies in the range from 300 MHz (0.3 GHz) to 300 GHz. Ultraviolet rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths in the range from 10 nm to 400 nm (frequencies from 2.99x107 to 7.5x105 GHz). Since the frequencies are so different, UV filters may not filter microwaves and vice-versa. Similarly, absorption of the two forms of radiation is quite different. Microwaves can heat a cup of soup up very nicely while you could die of starvation waiting for UV rays to heat it up.
What they use to study meteorites?
mass spectrum chronography, among other things.
How do you explain the different types of electromagnetic energy?
Electromagnetic (EM) energy is just one type of energy. It's a force in nature, and is one of the four fundamental forces we know of (along with gravity, and the strong and weak interactions, or forces). Let's look at how electromagnetic energy appears, and we'll do that by looking across the range of frequencies in which it is distributed. We call this distribution the electromagnetic spectrum, and we'll start at the bottom and work our way up. We'll remind you that low frequency means long wavelength and long period and low energy. Now let's get started. Lowest on the EM spectrum are the extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic waves. We then see the super low (SLF), ultra low (ULF) and very low (VLF) frequencies. Then low (LF), medium (MF) and high (HF) frequencies, then very high (VHF), ultra high (UHF), super high (SHF) and extremely high (EHF) frequencies. All these frequencies of electromagnetic radiation are basically categorized as "radio waves" because that's primarily how we use them, what we use them for - for communications. Certainly the higher end of those groups of frequencies finds applications for other things in addition to communications, and the microwave oven is just one example. Things get more interesting as we go higher. Beyond the microwaves, those frequencies which we use in cell phone and satellite communications (among other things) we have what is called the infrared (IR) region. It's broken down into (in order of increasing frequency, which we've been doing) the far infrared (FIR), mid infrared (MIR) and near infrared (NIR) portions of the spectrum. These are all frequencies just below the optical spectrum, and thermal energy is transmitted fairly effectively by them. From here, we move into the visible spectrum. We're familiar with the red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet of the optical spectrum. We call this visible light, and we just about take it for granted, don't we? (At least sighted people with good color vision do.) Beyond that is the ultraviolet (UV) region, with the near ultraviolet (NUV) and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) ranges within it. All that's left is the soft and hard X-ray (SX and HX) regions, and then the gamma (Y) region at the very top end. We're familiar with the X-rays and what they do, and the gamma rays, generated by changes in atomic nuclei, are just the extreme top end of the spectrum. Use the link below to do some review and look at some different aspects of the electromagnetic spectrum. Continue your investigation and discover how we generate and use these different frequencies of electromagnetic energy. You'll find more surprises than you can count.
