Question

g From the following choices, select the one correct statement: a. Ultraviolet light has a shorter wavelength than infrared light. b. Blue light has a shorter wavelength than X rays. c. Radio waves have a shorter wavelength than gamma rays. d. Gamma rays have a longer wavelength than infrared waves. e. Blue light has a longer wavelength than red light. 2. The diagram to the left is Fray with no lens in front of her.

Answer 1

Answer:

Ultraviolet light has a shorter wavelength than infrared light.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are waves that does nor require material medium for their propagation. Example of Electromagnetic waves are classified according to the acronym RIVUXG. They decrease in wavelength and increase in frequency from Radiowaves to Gamma ray.

R is the Radio waves

U - ultraviolet ray

V - Visible light (ROYGBIV){Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet}

Note that the visible light also decrease in wavelength from red to indigo, therefore red will have longer wavelength compare to blue light.

I - Infrared rays

X - X ray

G - Gamma ray

Based on the above conclusion, it can be inferred that Ultraviolet light has a shorter wavelength than infrared light since Infrared rays comes before the infrared light in the electromagnetic spectrum.
