Question

which option best describes electromagnetic waves that have enough energy to change atoms or molecules into ions? a. waves with long wavelength b. non - ionizing radiation c. waves with low frequency d. ionizing radiation

Explanation:

Ionizing radiation has sufficient energy to remove tightly - bound electrons from atoms or molecules, thus ionizing them. Waves with long wavelengths (A) and low - frequency waves (C) have less energy. Non - ionizing radiation (B) does not have enough energy to ionize atoms or molecules.

Answer:

D. Ionizing radiation
