Question

Which of the following types of electromagnetic radiation has the shortest frequency? (2 points) Infrared waves Microwaves Ultraviolet waves X-rays

Answer 1

The electromagnetic radiation with the shortest frequency is MICROWAVES.
Electromagnetic spectrum refers to the distribution of electromagnetic radiations according to their frequency or wavelengths. Electromagnetic spectrum is made up of many type of radiation, which have different properties. The frequency of electromagnetic radiation refers to the number of wave cycle that is formed per second. The electromagnetic radiation with the highest frequency is gamma ray while the radiation with the shortest frequency is radio wave. For the question given above, the radiation with the shortest frequency is microwaves.

Answer 2

The type of electromagnetic radiation that has the shortest frequency is the microwaves. Electromagnetic waves or radiations are types of radiations that do not require material medium for transmission. An electromagnetic spectrum arranges the electromagnetic radiations in the order of frequency size and the wavelength size. The electromagnetic radiation with the highest wavelength and the least frequency are the radio waves, while gamma rays have the lowest wavelength and the highest frequency. In this case; microwaves has the highest wavelength and the lowest frequency compared to infrared waves, Ultraviolet waves and X-rays
