Radiation can cause _.

Correct answer: D. All of these

  • A. Burning
  • B. Cancer
  • C. Flu
  • D. All of these

Explanation

Radiation exposure can indeed cause burning (radiation burns), and cancer (by damaging DNA and causing mutations), and although radiation exposure doesn't directly cause the flu, it can weaken the immune system, potentially making individuals more susceptible to contracting the flu or other infections. Therefore, all of the options provided can result from radiation exposure.

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.
