Answer:

Uses of various electromagnetic waves depend on their relative energy.

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum is the term used by scientists to describe the entire range of light that exists from radio waves to gamma rays. Electromagnetic waves is a wave of alternating electric and magnetic fields. The electromagnetic spectrum is a continuum of all electromagnetic waves arranged according to frequency and wavelength. The sun, earth, and other bodies radiate electromagnetic energy of varying wavelengths. Electromagnetic energy passes through space at the speed of light in the form of sinusoidal waves. The spectrum of waves is divided into sections based on wavelength. The shortest waves are gamma rays, which have wavelengths of 10^-6 microns or less. The longest waves are radio waves, which have wavelengths of many kilometers.

The application of various electromagnetic waves in science and technology depends on the energy of the wave. Electromagnetic waves that possess very high amount of energy are used in medical diagnosis, treatment of tumors, searching of baggage and detection of flaws in metal casting. Examples of such electromagnetic waves include gamma rays and xrays.

Some part of the electromagnetic spectrum possess energy enough to excite chemical bonds and produce spectra characteristic of certain functional groups in molecules. The ultraviolet and infrared rays fall into this category.

Some portion of the spectrum possesses very low energy and long wavelength and are mostly used for communication, mild medical diagnosis and resonance imaging/spectroscopy. Radio waves fall into this category.

disa [49]
Trace evidence can end up transferring to the crime scene through Locard's Exchange Principle, which states that whenever two things come into contact with one another, there is an exchange of physical material A.K.A evidence. This exchange is most often done through physical contact, such as a struggle or a suspect attempting to hide evidence or alter the crime scene. It can even involve a suspect's shirt sleeve brushing against some wet paint.

Repulsion of electrons within two interacting molecules produces changes in electron distribution. This change in electron distr
ycow [4]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

This explains how two noble gases molecules can have an attractive force between them.

This force is called as van dar Waals forces.

It plays a fundamental role in fields in as diverse as supramolecular chemistry structural biology .

If no other forces are present, the point at which the force becomes repulsive rather than attractive as two atoms near one another is called the van der Waals contact distance. This results from the electron clouds of two atoms unfavorably coming into contact.[1] It can be shown that van der Waals forces are of the same origin as the Casimir effect, arising from quantum interactions with the zero-point field.[2] The resulting van der Waals forces can be attractive or repulsive.[3] It is also sometimes used loosely as a synonym for the totality of intermolecular forces.[4] The term includes the force between permanent dipoles (Keesom force), the force between a permanent dipole and a corresponding induced dipole (Debye force), and the force between instantaneously induced dipoles

How could you tell whether a liquid is <br> honey or vinegar?
MissTica
Based on the liquids viscosity (which is a measure of how quickly/slowly a fluid can flow).

Higher viscosity represents a "thicker" liquid & slower flow (honey)
Lower viscosity represents a "thinner" liquid & quicker flow (vinegar)
