Select True or False for the following statements about electromagnetic waves.
Gamma rays can be produced in transitions of an atomic nucleus from one state to another.
The sun's radiation is most intense in the visible region.
The Earth's atmosphere is quite transparent to infrared radiation.
X-rays can be produced in transitions involving inner electrons in an atom.
A vertical automobile antenna is sensitive to electric fields polarized horizontally.
Radio waves travel in vacuum at a lower speed than the visible light.
Visible light is often emitted when valence electrons change their state.
Explanation / Answer
True=Gamma rays can be produced in transitions of an atomic nucleus from one state to another.
True=The sun's radiation is most intense in the visible region.
False=The Earth's atmosphere is quite transparent to infrared radiation.
True=X-rays can be produced in transitions involving inner electrons in an atom.
False=A vertical automobile antenna is sensitive to electric fields polarized horizontally.
False=Radio waves travel in vacuum at a lower speed than the visible light.
True=Visible light is often emitted when valence electrons change their state.
