The true statement about the radiation of the sun is it can travel through the vacuum.

We have to determine which of the following is true about radiation from the sun.

According to the question

Radiation from the Sun, which is more popularly known as sunlight, is a mixture of electromagnetic waves ranging from infrared (IR) to ultraviolet rays (UV).

It of course includes visible light, which is in between IR and UV in the electromagnetic spectrum.

The Sun does not only produce IR, visible light, and UV.

Fusion in the core actually gives off high-energy gamma rays.

The rays travel through a vacuum of space. If they couldn't travel through space.

However, as the gamma-ray photons make their arduous journey to the surface of the Sun, they are continuously absorbed by the solar plasma and re-emitted to lower frequencies.

Hence, The true statement about the radiation of the sun is it can travel through the vacuum.

This isn't a math question and should be in the science section. However, I will still answer the question. The answer is choice B.

Here's a further breakdown

A. False. The radiation or energy from the sun can travel through air or else you wouldn't feel the sun's rays. Also, plant life wouldn't be alive without that energy going through the air.

B. True. The rays travel through a vacuum of space. If they couldn't travel through space, then the same problem comes up as in choice A: the issue of not feeling the sun's rays.

C. False. They rays have different frequencies. Because there are many wavelengths (see choice D below), this means there are different frequencies. Recall that f = 1/w where f is the frequency and w is the wavelength.

D. False. The rays are made of different wavelengths. The visible light portion is what we can see, though there is a lot more to the electromagnetic spectrum (eg: ultraviolet light).

So once again, the answer is choice B

Kayla wants to find the width, ab, of a river. she walks along the edge of the river 65 ft and marks point c. then she walks 25 ft further and marks point d. she turns 90° and walks until her location, point a, and point c are collinear. she marks point e at this location, as shown. (a) can kayla conclude that δ and δ are similar? why or why not? (b) suppose de = 15 ft. what can kayla conclude about the width of the river?
