Practice question
Question
What property of electromagnetic waves allows them to exhibit phenomena like interference?
Explanation
**X-rays and gamma rays in medicine** X-rays imaging because bone absorbs more than tissue, contrast, CT scan uses multiple X-ray projections, gamma knife uses focused gamma rays to destroy tumor with minimal surrounding damage, illustrating high-energy EM wave medical use. Electromagnetic waves have wave-like properties, such as sinusoidal oscillations and coherence, which allow superposition and interference to occur under suitable conditions. Using c = fλ, E₀/B₀ = c, I_d = ε₀ dΦ_E/dt, and spectrum classification λ = c/f, evaluation yields Wave-like properties, illustrating EM wave transverse nature and Maxwell's displacement current concept.
