The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the wavelengths of different parts of the electromagnetic wave spectrum, we need to understand the order of wavelengths for various types of electromagnetic waves. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Electromagnetic Spectrum The electromagnetic spectrum consists of various types of waves, each with a different wavelength. The order from shortest wavelength to longest wavelength is crucial for this problem. ### Step 2: List the Types of Waves in Order The correct order of the electromagnetic spectrum from shortest to longest wavelength is: 1. Gamma rays (shortest wavelength) 2. X-rays 3. Ultraviolet (UV) rays 4. Visible light 5. Infrared (IR) rays 6. Microwaves 7. Radio waves (longest wavelength) ### Step 3: Analyze the Options Now, we will analyze the options provided in the question based on the order established above. - **Option A**: X-rays < Microwaves < Radio waves < Visible light - This option is incorrect because it places visible light after radio waves, which contradicts the order we established. - **Option B**: Visible light > X-rays > Radio waves > Microwaves - This option is also incorrect as it incorrectly states that visible light has a greater wavelength than X-rays. - **Option C**: Radio waves < Microwaves < Visible light < X-rays - This option is correct. It accurately reflects the increasing order of wavelengths. - **Option D**: Visible light < Microwaves < Radio waves < X-rays - This option is incorrect because it places X-rays after radio waves, which is not true. ### Step 4: Conclusion Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **Option C**: Radio waves < Microwaves < Visible light < X-rays.
