Electromagnetic radiation of highest fre...

Electromagnetic radiation of highest frequency is

A

infrared radiations

B

`gamma-`rays

C

radio waves

D

X-rays

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Electromagnetic radiations in the order of increasing frequencies is givne by
`upsilon_("radio")lt upsilon_("micro") lt upsilon_("infrared") lt upsilon_("visible") lt upsilon_("ultraviolet") lt upsilon_("X - rays") lt upsilon_(gamma-" rays")`
Therefore, `gamma-` rays have the highest frequency.
