Arrange the following electromagnetic waves in the increasing order of their energy.

(A) Ultraviolet rays
(B) Infrared rays
(C) Microwaves
(D) X-rays
(E) Gamma rays

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

The correct answer is Option (3) → (C), (B), (A), (D), (E)

Energy of electromagnetic waves is proportional to their frequency: $E = h \nu$

Increasing order of frequency (and hence energy):

Microwaves < Infrared < Ultraviolet < X-rays < Gamma rays

Corresponding to given options:

(C) < (B) < (A) < (D) < (E)

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