Question

What region of the spectrum best corresponds to light with a wavelength equal to:_____ a. The diameter of a hydrogen atomb. The size of a virus.c. Your height?

Answer 1

We will make the comparison between each of the sizes against the known wavelengths.

In the case of the hydrogen atom, we know that this is equivalent to
`10^(-10)` m on average, which corresponds to the wavelength corresponding to X-rays.

In the case of the Virus we know that it is oscillating in a size of 30nm to 200 nm, so the size of the virus is equivalent to the range of the wavelength of an ultraviolet ray.

In the case of height, it fluctuates in a person around
`10 ^ 0` to
`10 ^ 1` m, which falls to the wavelength of a radio wave.
