question 209

Multiple Choice

In the 1860s, Maxwell derived a set of mathematical equations that described electromagnetic waves that could have different wavelengths. These waves, which include visible light, have since been shown to

• A) have no wavelength limit, either short or long.
• B) have no upper wavelength limit, but waves cannot exist with wavelengths smaller than an atom.
• C) have no short wavelength limit, but waves cannot exist with wavelengths longer than about the diameter of Earth.
• D) exist only over a wavelength range from infrared to ultraviolet radiation.
