Gamma rays

Explanation:

In the electromagnetic spectrum, the energy of gamma rays is maximum and even their penetrating power is very high.

The increasing order of energy of electromagnetic spectrum is given by

Radio waves < Micro waves < Infrared rays < Visible rays < Ultra violet rays < X rays < Gamma rays

So, gamma rays are highly energetic and they can kill the cancerous cells in the body.

An astronaut is moving in space when a big explosion occurs about 50 meters behind him. How will the astronaut come to know abou
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

The astronaut will know due to the light from the explosion.

Explanation:

Sound and vibrations require a medium such as air to travel through. Space, there is no air. Only a vacuum. So sound and vibrations are unable to travel. Light requires no medium to travel. It can go through a vacuum.  

Therefore the Astronaut will see a bright flash of light as it travels from the explosion to outer space. It is also important to note that light can travel very far because nothing else interacts with its wave particles and as such, it cannot be impeded.

Cheers!
