X-rays are:
Correct answer: B. High velocity invisible rays
- A. Low velocity invisible rays
- B. High velocity invisible rays
- C. High velocity visible rays
- D. Low velocity visible rays
Explanation
X-rays are high-frequency electromagnetic radiations having wavelengths between 0.01-10 nm, way beyond the visible range that is between 400 and 700 nm, which makes them invisible. As they are electromagnetic waves, their velocity is very high.

About Spectroscopy and Analysis
Spectroscopy studies how substances absorb, emit or interact with electromagnetic radiation. Coverage includes ultraviolet-visible absorption, infrared identification of functional groups, Beer-Lambert law, spectral interpretation and the use of spectroscopic data to identify or determine the concentration of chemical substances.
