4. Which of the following sets of EM radiation can harm your body cells?
a. Gamma ray, microwaves, infrared
b. Light, ultraviolet, x-ray
c. Microwaves, ultraviolet, infrared
d. Ultraviolet, x-ray, gamma ray

Sagot :

Answer:

the correct one is D,  

Ultraviolet, x-ray, gamma ray

Explanation:

Electromagnetism radiation are waves of energy that is expressed by the Planck relationship

          E = h f

where h is the plank constant and f the frequency of the radiation.

Also the speed of light is

          c = λ f

         

we substitute

          E = h c /λ

therefore to damage the cells of the body radiation of appreciable energy is needed

microwave radiation has an energy of 10⁻⁵ eV

infrared radiation                E = 10⁻² eV

visible radiation                   E = 1 to 3 eV

radiation Uv                         E = 3 to 6 eV

X-ray                                    E = 10 eV

 

gamma rays                         E = 10 5 eV

therefore we see that the high energy radiation is gamma rays, x-rays and ultraviolet light.

When checking the answers, the correct one is D
