Answer:

B) The period increases and the frequency decreases.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gamma rays are high energy rays which means these rays have high frequency. Microwaves have low energy and low frequency. For electromagnetic wave change between gamma rays to microwaves, the frequency decreases and period increases.


T= (1)/(f)

Thus, option B is correct.
