Question 26
F

A scientist observes visible radiation from changes in atoms and gamma radiation from changes in nuclei. A separate experiment shows that absorbing radiation changes an atom. Which conclusion is supported by all these observations?

[1]
A

Changes can emit a range of radiations, and absorption can also cause changes.

B

Changes can emit a range of radiations, but absorption cannot cause changes.

C

Changes emit only visible radiation, and absorption can also cause changes.

D

Changes emit only gamma radiation, but absorption cannot cause changes.
