AI Generated Solution

To solve the question regarding which electromagnetic waves have the shortest wavelength and the lowest frequency among microwaves, X-rays, UV rays, and infrared rays, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Electromagnetic Spectrum The electromagnetic spectrum is a range of all the different frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. It includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared rays, visible light, ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and gamma rays. The spectrum is arranged such that as we move from left to right, the wavelength decreases and the frequency increases. ### Step 2: Identify the Position of Each Type of Wave - **Microwaves**: Located between radio waves and infrared rays. - **Infrared Rays**: Located just after microwaves. ...
