Answer : The order of electromagnetic waves from highest to lowest energy is:

\text{gamma-rays}>\text{x-rays}>\text{ultraviolet-rays}>\text{infrared-rays}>\text{microwaves}>\text{radio-waves}

Explanation :

Electromagnetic waves : It is a wave in which two vectors are vibrating mutually perpendicular to each other and in direction of the wave. The two vectors are electric field and magnetic field.

The gamma-rays, x-rays, ultraviolet-rays, infrared-rays, microwaves and radio-waves are the electromagnetic waves.

The increasing order of electromagnetic waves in terms of wavelength will be,

\text{gamma-rays}

As, E=\frac{hc}\lambda}

According to the formula we conclude that, the energy is inversely proportional to the wavelength.

That means higher the wavelength, lower will be energy and vice-versa.

The decreasing order or highest to lowest of electromagnetic waves in terms of energy will be,

\text{gamma-rays}>\text{x-rays}>\text{ultraviolet-rays}>\text{infrared-rays}>\text{microwaves}>\text{radio-waves}

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Nuclear fission

Explanation:

Nuclear science is the field of physics that explains the atomic theory. It also explains the behavior, structure, and component parts of atomic nuclei.

Nuclear fission is used in nuclear power plants.

It is a great deal of radioactive waste that releases a great deal of energy with a little radioactivity.

In this process, the nucleus of an atom splits into two or more smaller and lighter nuclei.
