Question

which ems wave has a wavelength equal to the size of a microorganism and can be broken up by a prism into specific wavelengths of color?
visible
radio waves
microwaves
infrared

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Visible light has wavelengths in the range of approximately 400 - 700 nanometers, which is comparable to the size of some microorganisms. Prisms can disperse visible light into its component colors (specific wavelengths) through refraction. Radio waves have much longer wavelengths (meters to kilometers). Microwaves have wavelengths in the millimeter - centimeter range. Infrared has wavelengths longer than visible light (but shorter than microwaves in some sub - ranges, but still not in the microorganism - size range for the most relevant part of the question).

Answer:

Visible
