Answer:

Micro and radio waves.

Lower energy.

Gamma rays.

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation and their respective wavelengths.

Ionising radiation os defined as the energy required of photons of a wave to ionize atoms, causing chemical reactions.

The energy of the wave depends on both the amplitude and the frequency. If the energy of each wavelength is a discrete packet of energy, a high-frequency wave will deliver more of these packets per unit time than a low-frequency wave. In summary, the longer the wavelength, the lower the energy to ionise.

The velocity of a wave is directly proportional to the frequency of that wave.

c = f * lambda

Where,

c = velocity of the wave

f = frequency of the wave = 1/time

Lambda = wavelength.

From the above expression, the longer the wavelength, lambda the shorter the frequency.

Examples of waves with longer wavelengths are, micro and radio waves, while radiations with shorter wavelengths like gamma rays.

Which statement is true of AC current?. Select one of the options below as your answer:. . A.. It uses a battery as a power sour
Nonamiya [84]
<span>The answer is B. It can be converted from high to low voltage and vice versa using transformers. That is why high voltages (tens or hundreds of kilovolts) is used to efficiently transfer electricity for large distances and then converted to 110-240V.

The answer can also be derived by elimination. [A] is not right because battery provides only Direct Current (DC). [C] is not right because high voltages are used for AC (from 110V to hundreds of kilovolts). [D] is not right because as the name Alternating Current suggests, the current is alternating in its direction. [E] is not right because DC was the first type of current invented.</span>
