Marie and Pierre Curie noticed burns on their fingers after handling test tubes containing radioactive substances. This observation led to (1 point)
A.the discovery of natural fluorescence. B.the discovery of X-rays.
C.the discovery of radiation therapy.***
D.the discovery of uranium.
I have the same question did you ever find the answer? Thanks
:/ did anyone at least try to answer this?
SCREEE I don’t think anyone did
Its b
To determine the correct answer, we'll need to analyze the information provided. In this case, Marie and Pierre Curie noticed burns on their fingers after handling test tubes containing radioactive substances. Based on this observation, we need to identify what discovery this led to.
A. The discovery of natural fluorescence: While this observation may be related to the behavior of certain compounds under UV light, it does not directly correspond to the burns noticed by the Curies.
B. The discovery of X-rays: X-rays were discovered by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, not the Curies. This answer is not correct.
C. The discovery of radiation therapy: This answer seems plausible as burns on the Curies' fingers could potentially be related to radiation exposure. Further investigation is needed.
D. The discovery of uranium: While uranium is a radioactive element, burns on the fingers of the Curies do not directly relate to the discovery of uranium. This answer is not correct.
Based on the information provided, it can be concluded that the correct answer is C. The observation of burns on Marie and Pierre Curie's fingers after handling radioactive substances led to the discovery of radiation therapy.
