Gerardo Sloan · Answer 1

The electromagnetic spectrum shows the wavelength or frequency range of different waves starting from gamma rays to radio waves.

In the electromagnetic spectrum, gamma rays have shorter wavelength while radio wave have longest wavelength.

The correct order is as follows:

(A) Gamma rays

(B) X rays

(C) Ultraviolet

(D) Visible light

(E) Infrared waves

(F) Radio waves

So, the correct order form left to right in order of increasing wavelength is as follows:

Gamma rays < X rays < Ultraviolet < Visible Light < Infrared Waves < Radio Waves
