In which of the following sequences are the EM radiation in increasing order of frequency
Correct answer: C. Radio, infrared, visible, gamma-ray
- A. infrared, radio, visible, x-ray
- B. Radio, visible, infrared, gamma-ray
- C. Radio, infrared, visible, gamma-ray
- D. X-ray, visible, infrared, radio
Explanation
Electromagnetic radiation consists of waves with varying frequencies. The frequency increases from radio waves to gamma rays. Therefore, the correct sequence in increasing order of frequency is radio, infrared, visible, and gamma-ray
