Question

For the following types of electromagnetic radiation, how do the wavelength, frequency, and photon energy change as one goes from the top of the list to the bottom?

radio waves

infared radiation

visible light

ultraviolet radiation

gamma radiation

Wavelength/Frequency/Photon Energy

1. Increases/ Increases/ Increases

2. Increases/ Decreases/ Decreases

3. Decreases/ Increases/ Increases

4. Decreases /Decreases/ Increases

5. Increases/ Decreases/ Increases

Answer 1

option (3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The increasing order of wavelength of the parts of electromagnetic spectrum is of given by

Gamma

X rays

UV rays

Visible

Infrared

Micro

Radio

The frequency and the energy is inversely proportional to the wavelength. so,

From top to bottom, the wavelength decreases.

From top to bottom, the frequency increases.

From top to bottom, the energy increases.
