Answer 2

radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet light, X-rays, gamma rays

Step-by-step explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are oscillations of electric and magnetic fields in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave (transverse waves). They are classified into 7 different types, according to their frequencies.

From lowest to highest frequency, we have:

Radio waves
`<10^9 Hz`

Microwaves
`10^9 Hz - 4\cdot 10^(13)Hz`

Infrared
`4\cdot 10^(13) - 4\cdot 10^(14) Hz`

Visible light
`4\cdot 10^(14) - 8\cdot 10^(14)Hz`

Ultraviolet
`8\cdot 10^(14) - 2.4\cdot 10^(16) Hz`

X-rays
`2.4\cdot 10^(16) -5 \cdot 10^(19)Hz`

Gamma rays
`>5\cdot 10^(19) Hz`
