Question
X-rays and radio waves and visbile light are all very different forms of electromoagnetic radiation. X-rays can pass through skin while visible light cannot. Why does electromagentic radiation manifest itself in different ways?
a) different wavelengths of EM radiation interact with different size features
b) if visible light was more bright, it would act like x-rays
c)x-rays only interact with metals, wheras visble light interacts with everything
d) x-rays are not form of electromagnetic radiation so none of this question is correct
Explanation / Answer
The wavelength of the electromagnetic wave is important in case of studying when the wave interacts with something. Generally X rays have higher frequency and so, lower wavelength. If the wavelength of the ray is comparable to the dimension of the particle, it would interact with those particles and pass through them. So the reason is option A
Different wavelength of EM radiation interact with different size features.
