Radiation can cause _.
Correct answer: D. Both A and B
- A. Burning
- B. Cancer
- C. Flu
- D. Both A and B
Explanation
Radiation is energy that comes from a source and travels through space at the speed of light. This energy has an electric field and a magnetic field associated with it and has wave-like properties.High exposure to X-rays during diagnostic medical imaging or radiotherapy can also result in radiation burns.Radiation of certain wavelengths, called ionizing radiation, has enough energy to damage DNA and cause cancer.Hence option D is correct.

About Dawn of Modern Physics
Classical physics cannot explain blackbody radiation and related observations, leading to Planck’s quantum theory, in which energy is emitted or absorbed in discrete packets. Photons provide the particle model of light, with energy and momentum linked to frequency and wavelength, including the photoelectric effect and its threshold frequency.
