The wavelength of radio waves is about while the wavelength of visible light is about As the wavelength of the waves gets smaller, their energy gets larger.
When we look into a microscope, our eyes are detecting light waves scattered from the object we're looking at, just as a radar tower detects radio waves scattered from planes. But you can't see individual atoms with a microscope. This is because, as a rule, a wave won't scatter off an object much smaller than its wavelength. It would be like trying to track a speck of dust in the sky with a radar station.
Particle physicists use scattering to study subatomic particles a million times smaller than atoms.
What can we conclude about these scattering experiments?
