Question

Which of the following account for the differences between radio waves, X-rays, and gamma rays? Check all that apply

A. Frequency
B. Wavelength
C. Amplitude
D. Speed

Answer 1

frequency and wavelength

Answer 2

Answer: A. Frequency

B. Wavelength

Explanation: Electromagnetic waves are waves which can travel through the vacuum. Electromagnetic waves have electrical and magnetic component associated with them.

Electromagnetic waves are arranged in order of increasing frequencies or decreasing wavelengths.

Radio waves, X-rays, and gamma rays are all electromagnetic waves which have different wavelengths and thus have different frequencies. But they all travel with the speed of light.

`\\u=(c)/(\lambda)`

The order of frequency of given waves : gamma rays > X rays> Radio waves.

The order of wavelength of given waves : gamma rays < X rays < Radio waves.
