Question 1
Which of the following types of electromagnetic radiation has the shortest wavelengths?

A. Infrared

B. Ultraviolet

C. Visible light

D. Radio waves


Sagot :

D. Radio waves


In order it would be Radio wave, Microwave, Infrared, visible, Ultraviolet, x-ray, Gamma ray

Electromagnetic radiation is the energy waves with various wavelengths. Ultraviolet rays have the shortest wavelength. Thus, option B is correct.

What is wavelength?

A wavelength is a ratio of the velocity and the frequency as the distance between the crests is measured. The shortest wavelength haves the largest frequency.

Radio waves have the longest wavelength but the shortest frequency and similarly the gamma rays have the shortest wavelength. Ultraviolet rays come before the X-rays and the gamma rays have a short wavelength.

Therefore, option B. UV rays have the shortest wavelength.
