The correct Answer is:
To arrange electromagnetic radiation in order of increasing wavelength, we need to understand the general order of the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum is typically arranged from the shortest wavelength (highest frequency) to the longest wavelength (lowest frequency). Here’s how we can systematically approach this: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Types of Electromagnetic Radiation**: The main types of electromagnetic radiation include gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet rays, visible light, infrared rays, microwaves, and radio waves. 2. **List the Wavelength Ranges**: - **Gamma Rays**: Wavelengths less than 0.01 nm (10^-12 m) - **X-Rays**: Wavelengths from about 0.01 nm to 10 nm (10^-11 m to 10^-8 m) - **Ultraviolet Rays**: Wavelengths from about 10 nm to 400 nm (10^-8 m to 4 x 10^-7 m) - **Visible Spectrum**: Wavelengths from about 400 nm to 750 nm (4 x 10^-7 m to 7.5 x 10^-7 m) - **Infrared Rays**: Wavelengths from about 750 nm to 1 mm (7.5 x 10^-7 m to 10^-3 m) - **Microwaves**: Wavelengths from about 1 mm to 1 m (10^-3 m to 1 m) - **Radio Waves**: Wavelengths greater than 1 m (greater than 10^0 m) 3. **Arrange in Order of Increasing Wavelength**: - Start with the shortest wavelength: 1. Gamma Rays 2. X-Rays 3. Ultraviolet Rays 4. Visible Spectrum (which includes colors from violet to red) 5. Infrared Rays 6. Microwaves 7. Radio Waves 4. **Final Arrangement**: - The correct order of electromagnetic radiation in increasing wavelength is: - Gamma Rays < X-Rays < Ultraviolet Rays < Visible Spectrum < Infrared Rays < Microwaves < Radio Waves ### Final Answer: **Gamma Rays < X-Rays < Ultraviolet Rays < Visible Spectrum < Infrared Rays < Microwaves < Radio Waves** ---
