Answer:

4). FALSE

5). FALSE

6). FALSE

Step-by-step explanation:

4).

As we know that electromagnetic waves are combination of several frequency of different order

If we arrange all waves in increasing order of energy then we will have

1. Radio waves

2. Microwaves

3. Infrared waves

4. Visible Light

5. Ultraviolet Rays

6. X rays

7. Gamma Rays

So here we can say that gamma rays are of highest frequency and as we know frequency is directly proportional to the energy so gamma rays are also of highest energy.

5).

As we know from above order of all electromagnetic waves that radio waves are of lowest frequency range

So energy possessed by radio waves is minimum energy.

So the photon energy of radio waves must be minimum energy

6).

As we can see that frequency range of visible light lie in the middle of all electromagnetic waves

so visible light is neither minimum frequency range nor it is highest frequency range

The first statement is False

Gamma Rays has a very high - Energy

The second statement is False, Because of the low frequency

As for the third statement, i think it's also false
Visible Light ony able to cover a small percentage of the spectrum

hope this helps
