from the lowest energy to the highest energy, which of the following correctly orders the different categories of electromagnetic radiation?
radio, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, x - rays, gamma rays
infrared, microwaves, visible light, ultraviolet, x - rays, gamma rays, radio
gamma rays, x - rays, ultraviolet, visible light, infrared, microwaves, radio
radio, x - rays, visible light, ultraviolet, microwaves, infrared, gamma rays

Explanation:

The energy of electromagnetic radiation is inversely - proportional to its wavelength. Radio waves have the longest wavelength and thus the lowest energy, while gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and the highest energy. The correct order from lowest to highest energy is radio, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X - rays, gamma rays.

Answer:

radio, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X - rays, gamma rays
