The correct Answer is:
To determine the increasing order of energy for the given electromagnetic radiations, we need to understand the relationship between energy, frequency, and wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Electromagnetic Spectrum**: The electromagnetic spectrum is arranged in order of increasing wavelength and decreasing frequency. The order from low energy to high energy is as follows: - Radio waves - Microwaves - Infrared - Visible light - Ultraviolet - X-rays - Gamma rays 2. **Identify the Given Radiations**: The radiations we need to arrange are: - X-rays - Visible light - Gamma rays 3. **Determine Energy Order**: - **Gamma rays** have the highest energy and the shortest wavelength. - **X-rays** have higher energy than visible light but lower than gamma rays. - **Visible light** has the lowest energy among the three. 4. **Arrange in Increasing Order of Energy**: Based on the energy levels: - Visible light (lowest energy) - X-rays (medium energy) - Gamma rays (highest energy) 5. **Final Sequence**: Therefore, the correct sequence in increasing order of energy is: - Visible light (2) < X-rays (1) < Gamma rays (3) ### Conclusion: The correct answer is: **Visible light (2) < X-rays (1) < Gamma rays (3)**.
