Question

Place the following types of electromagnetic radiation in order of increasing wavelength. ultraviolet light gamma rays radio waves Place the following types of electromagnetic radiation in order of increasing wavelength. ultraviolet light gamma rays radio waves gamma rays < radio waves < ultraviolet light radio waves < gamma rays < ultraviolet light ultraviolet light < gamma rays < radio waves gamma rays < ultraviolet light < radio waves radio waves < ultraviolet light < gamma rays

Answer 1

Answer: gamma rays < ultraviolet light < radio waves

Explanation: We have to explain the ordering we take into account a relationship for electromagnetic wave, which is given by:

c=λ*ν c is the speed of light.  λ and ν are the wavelegth and the frequency of the waves.

Then we also know that the high frequency of these radiation correspond to the gamma ray (10^18 1/s) while the lowest correspond to radio wave (10^8 1/s) so:

The ultraviolet ligth is ranged at frequencies of 10^16 1/s located bewteen gamma and radio radiation.

as large frequency lower wavelength we can order these radiations from short to long wavelengths as follows:

gamma rays < ultraviolet light < radio waves

Answer 2

The answer is gamma rays < ultraviolet light < radio waves
