Chapter 12, Problem 89A

a.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: To compare which ultraviolet and visible electromagnetic radiation have a higher frequency.

Concept Introduction: Electromagnetic radiation is produced every time a charged particle modifications its speed every time it’s speed changes. Electromagnetic waves are created with the aid of using the vibration of an electric-powered charge.

These vibrations create a wave that has each an electric powered and a magnetic component.

Answer to Problem 89A

The frequency of ultraviolet radiation is higher than visible light.

Explanation of Solution

The seven electromagnetic radiations are as follows:

• Radio waves
• Microwaves
• Infrared
• Visible light
• Ultraviolet
• X-rays
• Gamma rays

Frequency is defined as the ratio of the number of waves per unit of time. Electromagnetic radiation is in direct relation to the frequency. The frequency of ultraviolet radiation is higher than visible light.

b.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: To compare which ultraviolet and visible electromagnetic radiation have a higher energy.

Concept Introduction: Electromagnetic radiation is produced every time a charged particle modifications its speed every time it’s speed changes. Electromagnetic waves are created with the aid of using the vibration of an electric-powered charge.

These vibrations create a wave that has each an electric powered and a magnetic component.

Answer to Problem 89A

The energy of ultraviolet radiation is higher than visible light.

Explanation of Solution

The seven electromagnetic radiations are as follows:

• Radio waves
• Microwaves
• Infrared
• Visible light
• Ultraviolet
• X-rays
• Gamma rays

Electromagnetic radiation is directly proportional to the energy. The energy of ultraviolet radiation is higher than visible light.

c.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: To compare which ultraviolet and visible electromagnetic radiation have shorter wavelengths.

Concept Introduction: Electromagnetic radiation is produced every time a charged particle modifications its speed every time it’s speed changes. Electromagnetic waves are created with the aid of using the vibration of an electric-powered charge.

These vibrations create a wave that has each an electric powered and a magnetic component.

Answer to Problem 89A

The wavelength of ultraviolet radiation is shorter than visible light.

Explanation of Solution

The seven electromagnetic radiations are as follows:

• Radio waves
• Microwaves
• Infrared
• Visible light
• Ultraviolet
• X-rays
• Gamma rays

Electromagnetic radiation is indirectly proportional to the wavelength. The wavelength of ultraviolet radiation is shorter than visible light.
