Question
which of the following electromagnetic waves has the lowest energy? visible light wave gamma ray infrared wave microwave
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 \(E\).
