Question

Which of these ranges of electromagnetic radiation has the shortest wavelengths? A. visible light. B. X-rays. C. infrared radiation. D. ultraviolet radiation

Answer 1

Ultraviolet Radiation

Step-by-step explanation:

UV radiation has the highest frequency/shortest wavelength.

Range Wavelength (nm) [nm = nanometers; 10^-9m]

Ultraviolet 10-400 nm

Violet - 400-420 nm

Indigo - 420 - 440 nm

Blue - 440 - 490 nm

Green - 490 - 570 nm

Yellow - 570 - 585 nm

Orange - 585 - 620 nm

Red - 620 - 780 nm
