Which of the following types of electromagnetic waves has a frequency greater than ultraviolet waves?

A) X rays

B) infrared waves

C) microwaves

D) visible light

A) X-rays

Step-by-step explanation:

Ultraviolet rays have a frequency range of 10¹⁵ Hz to 10¹⁷ Hz.

X-rays have a frequency range of 10¹⁷ Hz to 10²⁰ Hz, so they have a higher frequency than UV waves.

B) is wrong. The frequency range of infrared light is 10¹³ Hz to 4 * 10¹⁴ Hz.

C) is wrong. The frequency range of microwaves is 3 * 10¹¹ Hz to 10¹³ Hz.

D) is wrong. The frequency range of microwaves is 4 * 10¹⁴ Hz to 7.5 * 10¹⁴ Hz.

A. x Ray's have the second highest frequency in the light spectrum after gamma rays
