Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The
Concept introduction: Electromagnetic radiation is the form of radiation that is produced by oscillation of electric and magnetic field line disturbance in vacuum.
Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 3A
- X-rays used to make images of bone.
- White light from light bulb.
- Microwaves used to cook food
- Radio waves that transmit voices and music.
Explanation of Solution
Electromagnetic radiation is the form of radiation that is produced by oscillation of electric and magnetic field line disturbance in vacuum.
The electromagnetic radiation depends on the wavelengths. The electromagnetic radiations are shown below:
From the above diagram, X rays have very short wavelengths, whereas radio waves have very long wavelengths.
Conclusion
Radiation provides an important means of energy transfer.
