Electromagnetic spectrum consists of
Radio waves
Microwaves
Infrared
Visible light
Ultraviolet
X-ray
Gamma ray

We use these everyday in our life however they also have dangers.

Radio waves - their long wavelength allows them to help with communication
Danger - exposure to a lot of radio waves can cause cancer or leukaemia

Microwaves - used for heating up food and transferring heat to the food.
Dangers - exposure can cause cancers and other diseases.

Infrared - can be used for remote controls and security cameras.
Danger - can cause damage to the cornea in your eye

Visible light - used for photography and optical fibres.
Danger - intense sources can cause permanent or temporary damage to the eyesight.

Ultraviolet - can be used to sterilise food and sterilise surgical equipment.
Danger - can cause skin damage and may lead to a cancer.

X-rays - used to see the internal structure of tissues and bones.
Dangers - can lead to mutations and May damage the cells

Gamma- can be used to sterilise food and surgical equipment and kill microorganisms and other bacteria.
Dangers - May reach your cells and cause cancer and cell mutations which could result in mutations.

4. The Mariana trench is in the Pacific Ocean and has a depth of approximately 11,000 m. The density of seawater is approximatel
Alex73 [517]

Explanation:

It is known that relation between pressure and density is as follows.

            P = \rho gh

where,    P = pressure

     \rho = density

            g = acceleration due to gravity

            h = height

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

              P = \rho gh

                 = 1025 \times 9.8 \times 11000

                 = 110495000 Pa

Now, relation between pressure and force is as follows.

                P = \frac{F}{A}

or,            F = PA

                F = 110495000 \times \pi \times (0.1)^{2}

                   = 3.47 \times 10^{6} N

Thus, we can conclude that a force of 3.47 \times 10^{6} N can be  experienced at such depth.
