The differences between microwaves, visible light, and X-rays can be accounted for by their:
A. Frequency
C. Wavelength
1. Frequency: This refers to the number of complete cycles of a wave that occur in a given unit of time. Microwaves have lower frequencies compared to visible light, and X-rays have higher frequencies than both microwaves and visible light.
2. Wavelength: Wavelength is the distance between successive points on a wave that are in phase. Microwaves have longer wavelengths than visible light, and X-rays have shorter wavelengths than both microwaves and visible light.
Therefore, the differences in frequency and wavelength account for the distinctions between microwaves, visible light, and X-rays. Speed and amplitude do not directly contribute to these differences.
