5. Electromagnetic waves in certain wavelength ranges inter- act with water molecules because the molecules have a large electric dipole moment. The electric field of the wave A. Exerts a net force on the water molecules. B. Exerts a net torque on the water molecules. C. Exerts a net force and a net torque on the water molecules.
