When comparing an x-ray to a radio wave, what should you look for to determine which formula represents the x-ray?

A. A low lambda, λ, and a low nu, ν
B. A high lambda, λ, and a high nu, ν
C. A high lambda, λ, and a low nu, ν
D. A low lambda, λ, and a high nu, ν

Respuesta :

Answer:

D. A low lambda, λ, and a high nu, ν

Explanation:

  • Both x-rays and radio waves are electromagnetic waves that are part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
  • Radio waves have the longest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum and the lowest frequency.
  • X-rays on the other hand have a higher frequency compared to radio waves and a lower wavelength than that of the radio waves.
  • All electromagnetic waves in the electromagnetic waves travel with a speed of light, 3.0 × 10^8 m/s. They also posses energy given by the formula E = hf, where h is the plank's constant.
