A student learns that radio waves are deemed safe, whereas X-rays are considered hazardous. The student examines the provided electromagnetic spectrum
Given this information, which statement can the student most effectively articulate to clarify the distinction between radio waves and X-rays?
The greater energy of X-rays is reflected in their shorter wavelength.
The higher temperature and increased likelihood of causing burns are associated with the shorter wavelength of X-rays
The heavier particles of X-rays, indicated by their shorter wavelength, enable them to penetrate matter more extensively.
The X-rays with their shorter wavelength cause them to be less
common
