Question
Select True or False for the following statements about electromagnetic waves. A vertical automobile antenna is sensitive to electric fields polarized horizontally. The sun's radiation is most intense in the visible region. X- rays travel in vacuum at a higher speed than the visible light. Visible light is often emitted when valence electrons change their state. Radio waves travel in vacuum at a lower speed than the visible light. Gamma rays travel in vacuum at the same speed as the visible light. The Earth's atmosphere is quite transparent to infrared radiation.Explanation / Answer
