14. ANS: C
Electromagnetic radiation occurs across a continuum which varies in wavelength, frequency, and amount of
energy carried by a wave. From highest energy and shortest wavelength, to lowest energy and longest
wavelength, forms of radiation include gamma radiation, X rays, ultraviolet radiation, visible light, ultraviolet
radiation, microwave radiation, and radio waves.

28. ANS:
The outfielder is about 254 feet from home plate. The parabola is symmetric about its axis, which is a vertical
line. The second baseman is at a point on this axis of symmetry. So the outfielder is the same distance from
the second baseman as the second baseman is from home plate. 127 + 127 = 254, so the distance from home
plate to the outfielder is about 254 feet.
