The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given options has the largest wavelength, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Electromagnetic Spectrum**: The electromagnetic spectrum consists of various types of waves arranged in order of increasing frequency and decreasing wavelength. The order from longest wavelength to shortest wavelength is: - Radio Waves - Infrared Waves - Visible Light - Ultraviolet (UV) Rays - X-rays - Gamma Rays 2. **Identify the Given Options**: The options provided in the question are: - Radio Waves - X-rays - UV Rays - Infrared Rays 3. **Compare the Wavelengths**: From the electromagnetic spectrum, we can see that: - Radio Waves have the longest wavelength. - Infrared Waves have a shorter wavelength than Radio Waves but longer than visible light. - UV Rays have a shorter wavelength than Infrared Waves. - X-rays have an even shorter wavelength than UV Rays. 4. **Conclusion**: Since Radio Waves have the longest wavelength compared to the other options listed (X-rays, UV Rays, and Infrared Rays), we conclude that: - **Radio Waves have the largest wavelength among the given options.** ### Final Answer: **Radio Waves have the largest wavelength.** ---
