The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem regarding the speeds of gamma rays, x-rays, and microwaves in vacuum, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Electromagnetic Waves**: - Gamma rays, x-rays, and microwaves are all types of electromagnetic (EM) waves. 2. **Speed of EM Waves in Vacuum**: - The speed of all electromagnetic waves in a vacuum is the same and is denoted by \( c \). This speed is approximately \( 3 \times 10^8 \) meters per second. 3. **Identifying the Speeds**: - Given the speeds: - \( V_g \) = speed of gamma rays - \( V_x \) = speed of x-rays - \( V_m \) = speed of microwaves - According to the properties of EM waves, we have: \[ V_g = c, \quad V_x = c, \quad V_m = c \] 4. **Conclusion**: - Since all three speeds are equal to \( c \), we can conclude that: \[ V_g = V_x = V_m \] - Therefore, there is no order of speed among them as they all travel at the same speed in a vacuum. 5. **Final Answer**: - The order of speeds is: \[ V_g = V_x = V_m \]
