Question

select the correct answer. which sequence shows electromagnetic waves arranged from shorter to longer wavelengths? a. visible light, infrared radiation, microwaves, and ultraviolet rays b. infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, and microwaves c. microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, and ultraviolet radiation d. ultraviolet radiation, visible light, infrared radiation, and microwaves

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves in order of increasing wavelength are gamma - rays, X - rays, ultraviolet radiation, visible light, infrared radiation, microwaves, and radio waves. So ultraviolet radiation has a shorter wavelength than visible light, which has a shorter wavelength than infrared radiation, which has a shorter wavelength than microwaves.

Answer:

D. ultraviolet radiation, visible light, infrared radiation, and microwaves
