Select the arrangement of electromagnetic radiation which starts with the lowest energy and increases to greatest energy?
Correct answer: D. radio, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, x-ray, gamma ray
- A. radio, visible, infrared, ultraviolet, x-ray, gamma ray
- B. radio, infrared, visible, x-ray, gamma ray, ultraviolet
- C. visible, radio, infrared, ultraviolet, x-ray, gamma ray
- D. radio, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, x-ray, gamma ray
Explanation
Energy increases with frequency and decreases with wavelength: radio, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, X-rays, then gamma rays. Therefore option d gives the correct low-to-high energy order.
