When John broke his arm, the doctor took an x-ray of John's arm. John had never seen an x-ray before. He
asked the doctor how the x-ray was able to show his bones but not his skin and other tissue. Which
explanation would the doctor best provide to John?
) X-rays have lower energy than visible light and therefore produce a black background behind the bone image.
) X-rays have higher frequency than gamma rays and therefore pass through skin and bone.
) X-rays have higher frequency than visible light and therefore can pass through skin and tissue but not through the bone.
) X-rays have lower frequency than infrared light and therefore penetrates through the bone.
Calculate the frequency of an X-Ray given that the wavelength is 5.0
nanometers. (Hint: 1 meter = 1x109 nanometers).
9. A few people in your neighborhood are protesting the erection of a 5G cell tower. They claim
the radio waves from the tower will be damaging to human health, specifically leading to
headaches, migraines, and dizziness. Using what you know about electromagnetic radiation and
how it interacts with matter, which side of the protest would you be on? Why? Consider where
radio waves fall on the electromagnetic spectrum and how you've seen radiation interact with
parts the human body throughout this unit.
(Note: this is something that really happened in Prof. Kerstiens' neighborhood. Also note that
this does not include concerns about 5G power usage, impact on ecosystems, or waste
production in making new cell towers and equipment.)
