X-rays are the type of electromagnetic waves that are commonly used to look for broken bones in medical imaging. X-rays can pass through soft tissues but are absorbed by denser materials, such as bone, allowing fractures to be detected on the image.

What do high and low-frequency electromagnetic waves look like?

High-frequency electromagnetic waves have shorter wavelengths and higher energy, appearing as shorter, more tightly packed waves. Low-frequency electromagnetic waves have longer wavelengths and lower energy, appearing as longer, more spread out waves.


Can you describe what high and low frequency electromagnetic waves look like?

High frequency electromagnetic waves have shorter wavelengths and higher energy, appearing as shorter, more tightly packed waves. Low frequency electromagnetic waves have longer wavelengths and lower energy, appearing as longer, more spread out waves.


What kind of electromagnetic wave has a wavelength of 1Cm?

microwaves, and the longer ones are radio waves. but microwaves cover the large majorit of that span.


What form of wave interaction causes the stem to look broken?

Refraction is a wave interaction that causes the stem to look broken when light waves pass from air into water, due to the change in the speed of light as it travels through different mediums. This change in speed causes the light waves to bend, creating the illusion of a broken or disjointed stem when viewing it through the water's surface.


6 types of electromagnetic waves?

Electromagnetic waves don't come in different types. They are all the same physical phenomenon, they all have the same speed in space, and they all exhibit the same electrical and optical behavior. Depending on their wavelength (frequency), we may call them radio, microwave, heat, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, soft x-ray, hard x-ray, or gamma ray but these are all simply different regions in the continuous distribution of the same phenomenon.

Are waves given off by the electric power lines to long or to short to be seen?

They are too long. For a good comparison of different waves, look up "electromagnetic spectrum".

Crushed, with broken bones. Probably will look fairly normal except it will be swelling.

How do you use x rays infrared rays radio waves and ultra violent waves?

The ultra violent rays bounce off of your bones and a computer prints out a picture of what your insides look like. By bouncing off of the bones the ultra violent rays can show all the solid things in you.


What would happen if you broke your tarsal bone?
