in this diagram, the parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are arranged in order of decreasing
need help? review these concept resources.

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum diagram shows different types of waves. The key relationship in the electromagnetic spectrum is that wavelength and frequency are inversely related ($c = \lambda f$, where $c$ is the speed of light, $\lambda$ is wavelength, and $f$ is frequency). As we move from radio waves to gamma - rays in the given diagram, the wavelength values (e.g., from \(10^{3}\) to \(10^{-13}\)) are decreasing. Since \(f=\frac{c}{\lambda}\) (and \(c\) is constant for electromagnetic waves in a vacuum), a decrease in wavelength corresponds to an increase in frequency. But the question asks for the property in decreasing order.

Answer:

wavelength
