Question

Order the waves from shortest wavelength (1) to longest wavelength (4). Gamma rays: Microwaves: Radio: Visible light:

Answer 1

Gamma rays: 1

Microwaves: 3

Radio: 4

Visible light: 2

For edg..

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two consecutive crest and trough is called the wavelength of a wave. The lower most part of the wave is called the trough while the upper most part is called the crest of the wave.

The wavelength of different waves are :

(1) Gamma rays - 10⁻¹² m

(2) Microwaves - 10⁻² m

(3) Radio waves - 10³ m

(4) Visible light - 0.5 × 10⁻⁶ m

So, the correct order of the waves from shortest to the longest wavelength is

(1) Gamma rays

(2) Visible rays

(3) Microwave

(4) Radio waves
