Question

We divide the electromagnetic spectrum into six major categories of light, listed below. Rank these forms of light from left to right in order of increasing wavelength. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.A) radio waves,B) infrared,C) visible light,D) ultraviolet,E) X-rays,F) gamma rays.

Answer 1

Answer:

gamma rays  < X-ray  < ultraviolet ray < visible light < infrared  < radio wave

Explanation:

given light form,

A) radio waves,B) infrared,C) visible light,D) ultraviolet,E) X-rays,F) gamma rays

we know,

wavelength of radio wave = 10000 Km

wavelength of infrared = 700 nanometers (nm) to 1 millimeter (mm)

wavelength of visible light = 380 to 740 nm

wavelength of ultraviolet ray = 10 nm to 400 nm

wavelength of X-ray =  0.01 to 10 nm

wavelength of gamma rays = 100 picometer

so, the order of rays.

gamma rays  < X-ray  < ultraviolet ray < visible light < infrared  < radio wave
