What is the correct order of radiations in descending order of frequencies?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. X-rays > Infrared > Microwaves > Radio waves
- The correct order of radiations in descending order of frequencies, from highest to lowest frequencies, is as follows:
- Gamma Rays
- X-Rays
- Ultraviolet (UV) Radiation
- Visible Light
- Infrared (IR) Radiation
- Microwave
- Radio Waves
- Gamma rays have the highest frequencies and the shortest wavelengths, while radio waves have the lowest frequencies and the longest wavelengths.
- Each of these types of radiation falls within a specific range on the electromagnetic spectrum, with gamma rays having the highest energy and radio waves having the lowest energy
