Question

Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum is nearest to X-rays?

microwaves
infrared light
gamma rays
radio waves

Answer 1

my answer would have to be c. Gamma rays, because if you take a look at the electromagnetic spectrum the order of waves from more spread out waves or compact waves would be,

Radio

Microwave

Infrared

Visible

Ultraviolet

X-Ray

Gamma ray

hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Gamma rays

Step-by-step explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum classifies all the different types of electromagnetic radiation based on their wavelength.

In increasing order of wavelength, they are the following:

Gamma rays

X-rays

Ultraviolet

Visible light

Infrared radiation

Microwaves

Radio waves

Therefore, gamma rays are the electromagnetic waves with shortest wavelength, while radio waves are those with longest wavelength. Based on this order, we also notice that X-rays are the nearest to the gamma rays, since they have wavelength just a bit longer than gamma rays.

Therefore, the correct answer is gamma rays.
