Question

Which type of radiation has the shortest wavelength? visible light X-rays gamma rays radio waves

Answer 1

Answer:

gamma rays

Explanation:

There are different types of radiations/electromagnetic waves within the electromagnetic spectrum. These include:

• radio waves
• visible rays
• X-rays
• infra-red
• ultra-violet rays
• microwave
• Gamma rays

The order of arrangement according to their wavelength is:

Gamma rays < X-rays < uv rays < visible rays < Infra-red < microwave < radio waves.

Gamma rays has the shortest wavelength while radio waves has the longest wavelength.

The correct answer is gamma rays.

Answer 2

The answer is Light Waves

Light waves with shorter wavelengths (and higher frequencies) also have more energy, so types of light like gamma rays, X-rays, and ultraviolet light are more energetic than visible light, and infrared, microwaves, and radio waves are less energetic than the light in the visible spectrum.
