Question

put the following forms of electromagnetic radiation in order of increasing frequency: gamma ray, radio wave, ultraviolet, highest frequency, second highest frequency, lowest frequency, clear all

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the electromagnetic spectrum

The electromagnetic spectrum in order of increasing frequency is: Radio waves (lowest frequency), Microwaves, Infra - red, Visible light, Ultraviolet, X - rays, Gamma rays (highest frequency).

Step2: Match the given waves

Among the given waves (Gamma ray, Radio wave, Ultraviolet), based on the order from the electromagnetic spectrum:

• Radio wave has the lowest frequency.
• Ultraviolet has the second - highest frequency (since Gamma ray is higher than Ultraviolet).
• Gamma ray has the highest frequency.

Answer:

Lowest Frequency: Radio wave
Second Highest Frequency: Ultraviolet
Highest Frequency: Gamma ray
