Question
which ems wave has a wavelength equal to the size of a molecule and can be seen by bees as well as cause sunburn? gamma rays visible ultraviolet x - rays
Brief Explanations
- Gamma rays have very short wavelengths (much smaller than molecular size) and are not visible to bees.
- Visible light has wavelengths that are not equal to molecular size.
- X - rays have shorter wavelengths (smaller than molecular size in many cases) and are not relevant for bee vision in the context of sunburn - causing wavelengths.
- Ultraviolet (UV) radiation has wavelengths in the range that can be on the order of molecular sizes. Bees can see UV light (which is important for their foraging as many flowers have UV patterns). Also, UV radiation (especially UV - B and UV - A to some extent) is known to cause sunburn.
