Answer:

gamma rays

Explanation:

There are different types of radiations/electromagnetic waves within the electromagnetic spectrum. These include:

  • <em>radio waves</em>
  • <em>visible rays</em>
  • <em>X-rays</em>
  • <em>infra-red</em>
  • <em>ultra-violet rays</em>
  • <em>microwave</em>
  • <em>Gamma rays</em>

The order of arrangement according to their wavelength is:

<em>Gamma rays < X-rays < uv rays < visible rays < Infra-red < microwave < radio waves.</em>

Gamma rays has the shortest wavelength while radio waves has the longest wavelength.

The correct answer is gamma rays.

The answer is Light Waves

Light waves with shorter wavelengths (and higher frequencies) also have more energy, so types of light like gamma rays, X-rays, and ultraviolet light are more energetic than visible light, and infrared, microwaves, and radio waves are less energetic than the light in the visible spectrum.

How virus shows both living and nonliving characteristic???​
Damm [24]

Answer:

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

Virus is an organism that has been a topic of debate in biological sciences. This debate is based on whether virus should be classified as a living thing or not. However, it has been shown that viruses possess characteristics or properties of both living and non-living things.

The living thing characteristics include;

- Ability to reproduce or replicate (in living cells only and not on their own).

The nonliving characteristics include;

- Lack of cells, which is a strong criterion for every living thing in accordance to the universal cell theory.

- Inability to self-replicate i.e. reproduce on their own without a living host.

What is the mystery element? is this a metal, nonmetal, or metalloid?
kiruha [24]

This is a metal!

I believe this is a metal because non-metal can be cut out instantly as this element shown has a metallic luster. Metalloids can be removed as they are worse at the conduction of electricty than metals, and all of the other properties listed are properties held by metals.

(Yes this is just my old answer but only because it is really the same reasoning)

Hope this helps, if not, comment below please!!!
