Every time a scientists walks by one of the machines in her lab, she gets really really hot. She eventually finds out that the machine emits 5 x 1010 Hz radiation. What is the wavelength of the light emitted? What kind of light is it? Group of answer choices (250 m, ultraviolet) (250 m, radio) (0.006 m, microwave) (0.006 m, gamma ray)

Label the regions of the electromagnetic spectrum with the effect that energy at each wavelength may have on atoms or molecules. Multiple answers may be possible for some types of radiation: 700 nm, 400 nm Radio waves Microwaves Infrared Visible light Ultraviolet X-rays Gamma Wavelength (meters) 10^2 10^1 10^-1 10^-2 10^-3 10^-4 10^-5 10^-6 10^-7 10^-8 10^-9 10^-10 10^-11 10^-12 10^-13 Bond vibrations Core electron excitations Molecular rotation Valence electron excitations Nuclear excitations
