Question

es Place the following types of electromagnetic radiation in order of increasing wavelength. ultraviolet light gamma rays radio waves gamma rays < radio waves < ultraviolet light radio waves < gamma rays < ultraviolet light ultraviolet light < gamma rays < radio waves gamma rays < ultraviolet light < radio waves radio waves < ultraviolet light < gamma rays

Answer 1

Answer: gamma rays < ultraviolet light < radio waves

Explanation: We have to explain the ordering we take into account a relationship for electromagnetic wave, which is given by:

c=λ*ν c is the speed of light.  λ and ν are the wavelegth and the frequency of the waves.

Then we also know that the high frequency of these radiation correspond to the gamma ray (10^18 1/s) while the lowest correspond to radio wave (10^8 1/s) so:

The ultraviolet ligth is ranged at frequencies of 10^16 1/s located bewteen gamma and radio radiation.

as large frequency lower wavelength we can order these radiations from short to long wavelengths as follows:

gamma rays < ultraviolet light < radio waves
