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

About Nuclear Physics
Atomic nuclei contain protons and neutrons, with nuclear size, mass defect and binding energy describing their stability. The work covers alpha, beta and gamma decay, decay equations, half-life and decay rate, along with radiation safety and medical applications such as imaging, radiotherapy and tracers.
