Final answer:

The correct order of the types of radiation in increasing wavelength is ultraviolet, visible, and infrared, which corresponds to option b) Infrared, visible, ultraviolet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to list three types of radiation in order of increasing wavelength. The types of electromagnetic radiations mentioned are ultraviolet, visible, and infrared.

Given that we know that the electromagnetic spectrum is arranged according to wavelength as follows: radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and gamma rays, we can determine that the correct order from smaller to larger wavelengths is ultraviolet, visible, infrared. Therefore, the correct option is b) Infrared, visible, ultraviolet.
