Question

Which sequence shows the different types of electromagnetic waves arranged in an increasing order of their frequency?

A.)radio waves, microwaves, visible light, x-rays
B.)x-rays, visible light, microwaves, radio waves
C.)visible light, radio waves, x-rays, microwaves
D.)microwaves, x-rays, radio waves, visible light
E.)visible light, x-rays, radio waves, microwaves

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is the option A which is radio waves, microwaves, visible light, x-rays.

Explanation:

• Electromagnetic spectrum is the graph describing the ranges of frequencies of different electromagnetic waves.
• As frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional.
• The waves with long wavelength have low frequency and waves with short wavelength have high frequency.
• Rdiowaves have long wave length and low frequency and microwaves have frequency more than radio waves and visible waves have high but x rays have of frequency of all given in list.
• Hence on the bases of frequency:
• Radio waves ≤ Micro waves ≤ Visible waves ≤ x-rays
• It can be seen in given electromagnetic spectrum.
