Respuesta :

Answer:

1. It emits most of its energy in gamma rays.

2. It emits all wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Explanation:

1. It emits most of its energy in gamma rays.

This is true since gamma rays are the most energetic form of the electromagnetic radiations from the sun. Gamma rays has the highest frequency ranging from [tex]10^{20}[/tex] to [tex]10^{24}[/tex] Hz.

They are most harmful to living organisms.

2. It emits all wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum.

This statement is also true. Energy emitted by the sun that is the electromagnetic spectrum consists of the gamma rays, x rays, UV rays, visible lights, Infrared lights, microwaves and radio waves of different wavelengths and frequencies. Thus electromagnetic spectrum emits all wavelengths of different energies.
