Question

The figure shows the regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Which of these statements is true?

A. X-rays are shorter than visible light waves.
B. Ultraviolet waves are longer than radio waves.
C. Visible light waves are longer than microwaves.
D. Infrared waves are shorter than ultraviolet waves.

Answer 1

A. X-rays are shorter than visible light waves.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct choice from the given options is that x-rays are shorter than visible light waves.

X - rays falls into the category of short-wave radiations because they have short wavelength

• Only gamma rays are shorter than x-rays.
• X-rays are highly energetic in nature and they have very high frequency.
• So, they have very short waves.
• The other choices are not correct.
