Which best explains why infrared waves are ineffective for treating cancer? They have frequencies that are too high to kill canc

er cells. They have short wavelengths, which can be harmful to healthy cells. They do not transfer enough energy to destroy cancer cells. They have long wavelengths, which can be harmful to healthy cells.

Infrared waves are ineffective for treating cancer because they do not transfer enough energy to destroy cancer cells.

<h3>Importance of high frequency waves</h3>

One of the uses of a high frequency wave is in the treatment of cancer. These high frequency waves transfer enough energy to destroy the cancer cells.

E = hf

where;

  • f is frequency of the wave

Infrareds have low frequency, and hence low energy.

Thus, infrared waves are ineffective for treating cancer because they do not transfer enough energy to destroy cancer cells.

Use the following table to calculate the train's average velocity during part B of the train ride.​
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

60km/hr due east

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Displacement = 60km East

Start time  = 10am

End time  = 11am

Unknown:

Average velocity  = ?

Solution:

The average velocity is the displacement divided by the time taken.

 For this journey, the time taken is;

              11am  -  10am  = 1hr

 So;  

 Average velocity  = \frac{60km}{1hr} = 60km/hr due east

A beam of light traveling in air strikes a glass slab at an angle of incidence less than 90°. After entering the glass slab, wha
omeli [17]

Answer:

It gets refracted.

Explanation:

When light beam travels through different mediums they refract i.e. they change their direction.  Here the angle of incidence is less than 90°. After entering the glass slab the light beam will move towards the normal (a line drawn perpendicular to the interface of the two mediums). Thus the  angle of refraction will be even lesser than angle of incidence.

An electromagnetic wave is transporting energy in the negative y direction. At one point and one instant the magnetic field is i
natali 33 [55]

Answer:. Option c

Explanation: the speed of an electromagnetic wave is simply the vector product of the magnetic field and the electric field.

The direction of the velocity is the direction of the electromagnetic wave.

The wave is already moving towards the negative y axis (-j) and the magnetic field is already pointing towards the positive x axis (i)

From cross product of unit vectors

i × j = k

i × k = - j

With the second identity, we can see that the electric field will be pointing towards the positive of the x axis (k).

Option c is validated
