The figure shows the regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Which of these statements is true? A. X-rays are shorter than visible light waves.
B. Ultraviolet waves are longer than radio waves.
C. Visible light waves are longer than microwaves.
D. Infrared waves are shorter than ultraviolet waves.

A. X-rays are shorter than visible light waves.

Explanation:

The correct choice from the given options is that x-rays are shorter than visible light waves.

X - rays falls into the category of short-wave radiations because they have short wavelength

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.
