Question

Which best explains why infrared waves are ineffective for treating cancer ?

Answer 1

If it is a multiple choice question is C. Infrared waves do not carry enough energy to kill cancerous cells.

Answer 2

Since infrared waves are of lesser energy so it do not have sufficient energy to break the cancer cells

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that if we arrange the electromagnetic waves in decreasing order of energy then it is as following

1) Gamma rays

2) X rays

3) Ultraviolet rays

4) Visible light

5) Infrared waves

6) Microwaves

7) Radio waves

so here since energy of infrared waves as even smaller then visible light so it is not used for the treatment of cancer cells
