Which radiation causes cancer? I think it is UV radiation, but I'm not sure.
Also,
A wave goes up and down 5 times in 10 seconds. what is the frequency of the wave in cycles per second (Hertz)
The type of radiation that can cause cancer is ionizing radiation, which includes certain forms of electromagnetic radiation and particle radiation. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is indeed a form of ionizing radiation, but it is not the only type. Other examples of ionizing radiation include X-rays, gamma rays, and certain radioactive particles.
To find the frequency of a wave, you can use the formula:
Frequency (f) = Number of cycles / Time
In this case, the wave completes 5 cycles in 10 seconds. So, you can plug these values into the formula:
f = 5 cycles / 10 seconds
The answer would be 0.5 cycles per second (or 0.5 Hz) since there are 0.5 cycles completed in every second.
