Chapter 40, Problem 37

(choose chapter or problem)

An electromagnetic wave is called ionizing radiation if its photon energy is larger than, say, 10.0 eV so that a single photon has enough energy to break apart an atom. With reference to Figure P40.37 (page 1264), explain what region or regions of the electromagnetic spectrum fit this definition of ionizing radiation and what do not. (If you wish to consult a larger version of Fig. P40.37, see Fig. 34.13.)
