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 infrared microwaves

Explanation:

Visible light has wavelengths in the range of approximately 400 - 700 nanometers. Microorganisms can have sizes in a range that can overlap with visible light wavelengths (e.g., some bacteria can be around 1 - 2 micrometers, and visible light wavelengths are in the hundreds of nanometers range). Also, a prism can break visible light into its component colors (ROYGBIV - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet) due to the phenomenon of dispersion. Radio waves have much longer wavelengths (meters to kilometers), infrared has longer wavelengths than visible light (beyond 700 nm up to about 1 mm), and microwaves have wavelengths in the millimeter - centimeter range.

Visible
