Answer: D.ultraviolet rays, visible light, infrared radiation, microwaves.

Explanation:

Shorter wavelength means higher frequency and higher energy.

Thus, the correct sequence of electromagnetic waves from shorter wavelength to longer wavelength is:

D.ultraviolet rays, visible light, infrared radiation, microwaves.

Ultraviolet rays have shorter wavelength (about 380 nm) and high energy.

Visible light has wavelength: 380 nm to 700 nm

Infrared wavelength: 700 nm to 1 mm

Microwave wavelength: 1 mm to 1 m
