Options:

Radiowave and UV-region

Microwave and visible region

Visible region and UV region

Ultraviolet region and X-rays

Correct Answer:

Microwave and visible region

Explanation:

The correct answer is OPTION 2 - Microwave and visible region

As wavelength decreases (and frequency increases), the order is:
Radio waves → Microwaves → Infrared → Visible → Ultraviolet → X-rays → Gamma rays

So, infrared is just before visible light and after microwaves.
