Problem 7: If you wish to observe features that are around the size of atoms, say 8.5 × 10-10 m, with electromagnetic radiation, the radiation must have a wavelength of about the size of the atom itself. Part (a) If you had a microscope which was capable of doing this, what would the frequency of electromagnetic radiation be, in hertz, that you would have to use? Part (b) What type of electromagnetic radiation would this be? Infrared Gamma rays None of these Ultraviolet X-Rays
