Which of the following types of electromagnetic waves have the shortest wavelength?A infrared wavesB X-raysC radio wavesD ultraviolet waves

The type of electromagnetic wave with the shortest wavelength among the options given is B. X-rays.

Here's a step-by-step explanation:

1. Electromagnetic waves can be categorized based on their wavelength. The categories from longest to shortest wavelength are: radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light, ultraviolet waves, X-rays, and gamma rays.

2. Comparing the options given:

   A. Infrared waves have longer wavelengths than visible light, ultraviolet waves, X-rays, and gamma rays.

   B. X-rays have shorter wavelengths than all the other options listed.

   C. Radio waves have the longest wavelengths of all electromagnetic waves.

   D. Ultraviolet waves have shorter wavelengths than visible light, infrared waves, and radio waves, but longer wavelengths than X-rays and gamma rays.

Therefore, among the options given, X-rays (B) have the shortest wavelength.
