Answer: The correct answer is Option C.
Explanation:
Energy of the Electromagnetic Spectrum is given by the Planck's equation:
[tex]E=h\nu[/tex]
Where,
E = Energy of the wave
h = Planck's constant
[tex]\nu[/tex] = Frequency of the wave
And we know that,
[tex]\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}[/tex]
where,
c = Speed of light
[tex]\lambda[/tex] = Wavelength of the wave
Putting the value of frequency in energy equation, we get:
[tex]E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}[/tex]
From the above relation, we get that energy is inversely related to wavelength of the wave.
From the spectra, we know that order of wavelength follows:
Infrared > Visible > UV
So, the order of energy gets reversed and the order becomes:
Infrared < Visible < UV
From the above information, we conclude that the correct option is Option C.
