Question

The correct order of electromagnetic waves with increasing frequency is:

• A. Infrared, X-rays, Gamma rays
• B. Gamma rays, Visible light, X-rays
• C. Visible light, Infrared, Ultraviolet
• D. Visible light, Ultraviolet, Infrared

Hint:

Remember the electromagnetic spectrum: lower frequency waves like infrared precede X-rays and gamma rays.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The order of electromagnetic waves in increasing frequency: \[ \text{Radio waves}<\text{Microwaves}<\text{Infrared}<\text{Visible light}<\text{Ultraviolet}<\text{X-rays}<\text{Gamma rays} \] So, among the given options:
- Infrared comes before X-rays
- X-rays come before Gamma rays
Hence, correct increasing order is: \[ \text{Infrared}<\text{X-rays}<\text{Gamma rays} \]
