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 scientists design and why?
a. x-rays waves would be the best choice because they have long wavelengths
b. x-rays waves would be best choice because they have short wavelengths
c. infrared waves would be the best choice because they have small amplitudes
d. infrared waves would be the best choice because they have large amplitudes
b. x-rays waves would be best choice because they have short wavelengths.
X-rays have short wavelengths compared to other waves in the electromagnetic spectrum. This property allows them to penetrate through soft tissues and be absorbed by denser materials like bones, creating an image of the bone without the surrounding tissues.
