(E) Visible light

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options:

(B) > (C)> (E) > (D) > (A)

(B) > (C) > (D) > (E) > (A)

(C) > (B) > (E) > (A) > (D)

Correct Answer:

(B) > (C)> (E) > (D) > (A)

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → (B) > (C)> (E) > (D) > (A)

The frequency order of electromagnetic waves is:

$\text{Gamma rays} \; > \; \text{Ultraviolet rays} \; > \; \text{Visible light} \; > \; \text{Infrared rays} \; > \; \text{Radio waves}$

Final arrangement in decreasing frequency:

(B), (C), (E), (D), (A)
