RADIATION. Radio waves, microwaves, IR, light, UV, x-rays, GAMMA waves etc are ALL Electromagnetic radiation. The difference between ALL the above is the frequency, I.E. The number of waves per second. The higher the frequency the more energy.

Answer:
E 1: cyclohexene
Explanation:
This reaction is an example of the dehydration of cyclic alcohols. The reaction proceeds in the following steps;
1) The first step of the process is the protonation of the cyclohexanol by the acid. This now yields H2O^+ attached to the cyclohexane ring.
2) the water molecule, which a good leaving group now leaves yielding a carbocation. This now leaves a cyclohexane carbocation which is highly reactive.
3) A water molecule now abstracts a proton from the carbon adjacent to the carbocation leading to the formation of cyclohexene and the regeneration of the acid catalyst. This is an E1 mechanism because it proceeds via a carbocation intermediate and not a concerted transition state, hence the answer.
