What region of the spectrum best corresponds to light with a wavelength equal to:

(1) the diameter of a hydrogen atom
(2) the width of your pinky finger
(3) the size of a virus

Choices:
(A) radio
(B) mircowave
(C) infrared
(D) visible light
(E) gamma ray
(F) x-ray
(G) ultraviolet

Respuesta :

Answer:

Hydrogen atom diameter correspond to X-ray

The width of the pinky finger correspond to microwaves.

virus correspond to X-ray and Ultraviolet rays. (it can even reach a portion of the visible ligth.)

Explanation:

To answer this question we have to find the meassures first.

the diameter of the hydrogen atom is approximately [tex]1.06*10^{-10}  m[/tex].

according to the electromagnetic espectrum the range between [tex]10^{-8}[/tex] and [tex]10^{-12}[/tex] correspond to the X rays.

The width of the pinky finger's average is about 1.06 cm that is [tex]1.06*10^{-2} m[/tex]. according to the electromagnetic espectrum the range between [tex]10^{0}[/tex] and [tex]10^{-3}[/tex] correspond to the micro waves.

The size of a virus has an average from 20 nanometer to 400nm that is ([tex]2*10^{-8}[/tex] to [tex]4*10^{-7}[/tex]). according to the electromagnetic espectrum the range between [tex]10^{-8}[/tex] and [tex]10^{-12}[/tex] correspond to the X rays. and the range between [tex]4*10^{-7}[/tex] and [tex]10^{-8}[/tex] correspond to Uv rays. it can even reach a portion of the visible ligth.
