Answer to Problem 1E
The other parts of the entire electromagnetic spectrum are gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet radiation, infrared radiation, microwave, and radio waves.
The common parts of everyday vocabulary are X-rays, microwaves and radio waves.
Explanation of Solution
The other parts of the entire electromagnetic spectrum are gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet radiation, infrared radiation, microwave, and radio waves.
Gamma rays and x-rays are very energetic. These are used to destroy the cancer cells. Ultraviolet radiation, infrared radiation and microwave are used to determine the structure of organic and inorganic compounds. Radio waves are used in radios.
X-rays, microwaves and radio waves are commonly part of everyday vocabulary.
The other parts of the whole electromagnetic spectrum are gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet radiation, infrared radiation, microwave, and radio waves.
X-rays, microwaves and radio waves are widely used in everyday vocabulary.

- RGB color television and computer displays use cathode ray tubes that produce colors by mixing red, green, and blue light. If we look at the screen with a magnifying glass, we can see individual dots turn on and off as the colors change. Using a spectrum of visible light, determine the approximate wavelength of each of these colors. What is the frequency and energy of a photon of each of these colors?arrow_forwardHow many unpaired electrons are there in an atom of (a) phosphorus? (b) potassium?
