Answer:

Since infrared waves are of lesser energy so it do not have sufficient energy to break the cancer cells

Explanation:

As we know that if we arrange the electromagnetic waves in decreasing order of energy then it is as following

1) Gamma rays

2) X rays

3) Ultraviolet rays

4) Visible light

5) Infrared waves

6) Microwaves

7) Radio waves

so here since energy of infrared waves as even smaller then visible light so it is not used for the treatment of cancer cells

What are two ways engineers use their understanding of kinetic energy and potential energy to make their designs better/ safer?
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

On a roller coaster, energy changes from potential to kinetic energy and back again many times over the course of a ride. Kinetic energy is energy that an object has as a result of its motion. Traditionally, the coaster cars are pulled up the first hill by a chain; as the cars climb, they gain potential energy.

What is an example of frequency
emmasim [6.3K]

'Frequency' is a word that often confuses some people ... for no good reason.
It just means "frequent-ness" or "often-ness" ... how often something happens.

The SI unit of frequency is the Hertz (Hz).  Hz means 'per second'.
So  " 13 Hz "  means  13 per second.

Here are examples of frequency:

-- 780 kilohertz (on your AM radio dial)
-- 98.7 Megahertz (on your FM dial)
-- 5.8 Gigahertz
-- twice a day
-- three per week
-- every 6 months

How to know if a position time graph table is balanced or unbalanced
Goshia [24]

When balanced forces act on an object at rest, the object will not move. If you push against a wall, the wall pushes back with an equal but opposite force. Neither you nor the wall will move. Forces that cause a change in the motion of an object are unbalanced forces.
