Question

Rank the following types of electromagnetic waves by the wavelength of the wave. Rank the wavelength of the electromagnetic waves, in order from longest to shortest. If the wavelength is the same, place them on top of each other:

a. Radio waves
b. Microwaves
c. Infrared waves
d. Visible light
e. Ultraviolet rays
f. X-rays
g. γ rays

Answer 1

The correct ranking of the electromagnetic waves by wavelength is: radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light, ultraviolet rays, X-rays, gamma rays.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct ranking of the electromagnetic waves by wavelength from longest to shortest is as follows:

1. Radio waves
2. Microwaves
3. Infrared waves
4. Visible light
5. Ultraviolet rays
6. X-rays
7. Gamma rays

Radio waves have the longest wavelength, while gamma rays have the shortest wavelength.

This ordering is based on the electromagnetic spectrum, which encompasses a range of electromagnetic waves characterized by their wavelengths or frequencies.
