Question
Of the following, ________ has the maximum frequency. UV Rays Gamma Rays Microwaves Radio Waves
Solution
The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all types of EM radiation. Radiation is energy that travels and spreads out as it goes – visible light that comes from a lamp in your house or radio waves that come from a radio station are two types of electromagnetic radiation. The other types of EM radiation that make up the electromagnetic spectrum are microwaves, infrared light, ultraviolet light, X-rays and gamma-rays.
Here is the order of the electromagnetic spectrum from highest frequency (and shortest wavelength) to lowest frequency (and longest wavelength):
- Gamma Rays
- X-Rays
- Ultraviolet (UV) Rays
- Visible Light
- Infrared Light
- Microwaves
- Radio Waves
So, out of UV Rays, Gamma Rays, Microwaves, and Radio Waves, Gamma Rays have the maximum frequency.
