1 answer

The type of electromagnetic wave used for warming, photosynthesis in plants, and making vitamin D in humans is the UV (ultraviolet) wave.

The other options break down as follows:

  • Gamma rays: High-energy waves used in medical treatments and imaging, not for warming or photosynthesis.
  • Visible light waves: Important for photosynthesis, but not specifically for warming or vitamin D production.
  • Radio waves: Used for communication technologies, not relevant for the processes mentioned.

So, the correct answer is UV wave.
