Question

Which describes a property shared by ultraviolet light and X-rays?

A They are both transverse waves.
B They share the same wavelength.
C They contain less energy than visible light.
D They both require a medium to travel through.

Answer 1

A They are both transverse waves.

Step-by-step explanation:

Both of them are non mechanical transverse wave . In transverse wave the movement in the medium particle is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of wave . I electromagnetic wave , the fluctuation is in electric and magnetic field which contains the energy of wave . The direction of their fluctuation is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of wave.

B is wrong as X - rays have smaller wave length .

The energy of both the rays is more than that of visible light .

They do not require medium to travel.
