Question

which of the following electromagnetic waves has the lowest energy? visible light wave gamma ray infrared wave microwave

Explanation:

The energy of electromagnetic waves is inversely related to their wavelength. Longer - wavelength waves have lower energy. Among the given options, microwaves have a longer wavelength compared to visible light waves, gamma rays, and infrared waves. According to the relationship \(E = h\frac{c}{\lambda}\) (where \(E\) is energy, \(h\) is Planck's constant, \(c\) is the speed of light, and \(\lambda\) is wavelength), a longer \(\lambda\) means lower \(E\).

Answer:

microwave
