Answer:
A. Gamma rays have higher energy than microwaves because gamma rays have shorter wavelengths.
Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves are waves produced by the interaction between both magnetic and electric fields. These waves have some properties that make them to be arranged in a definite form producing an electromagnetic spectrum.
The spectrum has a general property of which as the wavelength of the waves increases, the frequency decreases. And vice versa.
Thus, the energy of the waves increases as the frequency increases.
Gamma rays have higher frequency, but shorter wavelength. While microwaves has lower frequency, but higher wavelength.
Answer:
(A) Their high energy
Explanation:
The higher the energy of the x-ray the more "likely" they will pass through.
The x-ray is electromagnetic energy caused by energy changes in an electron.
X-ray are energetic and have enough energy to break up molecules. That is what reveals the bad or damaged cells in our body.
