un is right. for item 5 its gamma rays
un is correct
1. The correct answer is d) By detecting many types of radiation with both earth-based and space-based telescopes.
To understand how space research uses the electromagnetic spectrum, we need to know what the electromagnetic spectrum is. The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all possible frequencies (or wavelengths) of electromagnetic radiation, including radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.
In space research, scientists and astronomers use various types of telescopes to observe different objects in space. By using telescopes that are sensitive to specific ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum, they can study different properties and phenomena. For example, visible light telescopes allow scientists to observe celestial objects like stars and planets. Infrared telescopes can detect heat from objects, helping us understand their composition and temperature. X-ray and gamma-ray telescopes can detect high-energy radiation from distant celestial objects, such as black holes and supernovas.
2. The correct answer is d) Cell phones.
Radio waves are a part of the electromagnetic spectrum, and they are used for various everyday applications. One of the most common uses of radio waves is in communication, such as in cell phones. Cell phones transmit and receive signals using radio waves to communicate with cell towers, allowing us to make calls and access the internet wirelessly.
3. The correct answer is c) Infrared.
Infrared waves are often perceived as heat and are used in thermal cameras and television remotes. Infrared radiation has longer wavelengths than visible light and can be detected by specialized sensors. Thermal cameras use infrared waves to detect variations in heat and create images based on temperature differences. Television remotes, known as infrared remotes, use infrared waves to send signals to control televisions and other devices.
4. The correct answer is b) High frequency, short wavelength.
The energy of a wave is directly proportional to its frequency. A higher frequency corresponds to a higher energy wave. Similarly, the wavelength of a wave is inversely proportional to its frequency. So, a shorter wavelength also corresponds to a higher energy wave.
Therefore, in terms of energy, a wave with a high frequency and a short wavelength would have the most energy.
5. The correct answer is d) Gamma rays.
Gamma rays have the highest energy among the given options. Gamma rays have very short wavelengths and high frequencies. They are a form of electromagnetic radiation emitted during nuclear reactions, such as radioactive decay and nuclear explosions. Gamma rays can penetrate most materials and are highly ionizing, making them potentially dangerous to living organisms.
