Consider the diagram of the electromagnetic spectrum shown below. Notice the locations of X-rays and radio waves. X-rays are often used in medical settings to create images of the body's internal structures such as bones. This is made possible by the fact that X-rays are able to pass through the body's softer tissues without being absorbed. Radio waves are also able to pass through the body's softer tissues without being absorbed. Why are radio waves not used to generate medical images?
A. The frequency of most radio waves is too low to allow them to pass through bones or other solid materials.
B. Radio waves tend to bend too much when they encounter solid materials to be used for generating accurate images.
C. Radio waves carry so little energy that they tend to pass through most atoms without an interaction taking place.
D. The electrons in most atoms are not in high enough energy states to absorb the photons of radio waves

Astudent is performing an experiment comparing sound and light waves. the student gathers the following data. what conclusion does the student most likely make based on this data? light waves always travel the same speed; however, the speed of sound is determined by the medium that it travels through. all sound waves always have the same energy, so the temperature of the medium does not affect wave speed. light needs to vibrate particles, so it travels fastest in tightly packed solids, while sound does not need a medium, so it travels fastest in a gas. tightly packed particles in solids slow down the light waves; however, sound waves make particles bounce into each other, so they travel faster in solids.
