Answer:

In the other of increasing wavelength we arrange as

X-rays

ultraviolet

green light

red light

infrared

radio waves

Step-by-step explanation:

In the electromagnetic spectrum, wavelength decreases with increase in the energy of the electromagnetic wave. Since the e-m wave spectrum is arranged in the order of increasing energy (decreasing wavelength) as: Radio wave; infrared; visible light; ultraviolet; x-rays; gamma rays. Within the visible light, the green light has more energy than the red light. Therefore, the arrangement should be in the reverse direction of their increasing energy.
