What is the primary physical difference between ultraviolet (UV) light and visible light?

UV light travels at a faster speed than visible light.

Visible light is composed of particles, while UV light is composed of waves.

UV light has a shorter wavelength than visible light.

Visible light has a lower energy level, making it inherently brighter than UV light.

Why is a light's wavelength often compared to a fingerprint?

Because it is a unique physical property that identifies the type of light, such as visible or UV.

Because the pattern of waves looks like the ridges on a fingertip when viewed under a microscope.

Because, like a fingerprint, it can be easily smudged or altered by passing through different materials.

Because it describes a complex set of many different properties that must all be measured together.

Wave A has a longer wavelength than Wave B.

Wave B has a shorter wavelength than Wave A.

Wave A and Wave B are the same type of light.

Wave A has a shorter wavelength than Wave B.

The medium through which it travels.

The time it takes for one full wave to pass a stationary point.

The total energy carried by the entire light beam over a period of time.

The distance between two consecutive peaks of the wave.

The angle at which the light wave bends when it passes through a prism.
