Question
which ems wave has a wavelength equal to the size of a needle point and is used in heat lamps for reptiles as well as night vision technology? radio waves infrared visible microwaves
Infrared waves have wavelengths in the range that can be comparable to the size of a needle point. Infrared is used in heat lamps (as it is associated with heat, which is useful for reptiles to maintain their body temperature) and in night - vision technology (as it can detect heat signatures or emit infrared light that is then detected to see in low - light conditions). Radio waves have much longer wavelengths, visible light has wavelengths in a different range (not typically associated with the described applications in the question), and microwaves have wavelengths that are not in the range relevant to the size of a needle point for the given applications.
