The Electromagnetic Spectrum

Question 9 • PARTA - EOP: PGCPS BIOGEOCHEM CR (FALL2026) - 798113

A pet lizard and its shelter must be kept warm. What type of electromagnetic waves would most likely be used?

Answer
A
gamma rays
B
infrared light
C
ultraviolet light
D
microwaves

Explanation

Infrared waves are commonly used to provide warmth because objects absorb infrared energy and heat up. So infrared light would be most likely used to keep the lizard and its shelter warm. Ultraviolet light is mainly associated with effects such as helping reptiles produce vitamin D, not with providing heat.
