• For part a: Gamma rays have a higher frequency than X - rays as per the electromagnetic spectrum.
• For part b: Blue light has a higher frequency than yellow light. In the visible spectrum, as the wavelength decreases, the frequency increases. Blue light has a shorter wavelength than yellow light.
• For part c: Ultraviolet rays have a higher frequency than violet light. Ultraviolet rays are just beyond the violet end of the visible spectrum.

Answer:
