Arrange the following electromagnetic waves in the order of their decreasing frequency.
(A) Radio wave
(B) Gamma rays
(C) Ultraviolet ray
(D) Infrared wave
(E) Visible light
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
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)
