A scientist is designing a device that will develop an image of a bone, but not the surrounding tissues. Which type of wave from the electromagnetic spectrum would best complete the scientist's design and why?(1 point)
Responses
Infrared waves would be the best choice because they have large amplitudes.
X-ray waves would be the best choice because they have short wavelengths.
X-ray waves would be the best choice because they have long wavelengths.
Infrared waves would be the best choice because they have small amplitudes.
X-ray waves would be the best choice because they have short wavelengths.
X-rays have shorter wavelengths compared to visible light and infrared waves, allowing them to penetrate through soft tissues but get absorbed or scattered by denser materials such as bones. This property makes X-rays ideal for developing images of bones while minimizing interference from surrounding tissues.
