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 design and why.
A. an infared waves would be the best choice because they have large amplitudes
B. X ray waves would be the best choice because they have short wavelengths
C. an infared waves would be the best choice because they have small amplitudes
D. X ray waves would be the best choice because they have long wavelengths
B. X ray waves would be the best choice because they have short wavelengths.
X-rays have shorter wavelengths compared to other waves in the electromagnetic spectrum. This allows them to penetrate through soft tissues, while being absorbed or scattered at a higher rate by denser materials like bones. Therefore, using X-ray waves would allow the scientist to develop an image of the bone while not capturing the surrounding tissues.
