Question 15 • Physical Science

Which types of electromagnetic waves have frequencies that are higher than those of ultraviolet light but lower than those of gamma rays?

Answer
A
X-rays
B
radio waves
C
infrared light
D
microwaves

Explanation

In the electromagnetic spectrum, frequency increases from radio waves through microwaves, infrared, visible light, and ultraviolet to X-rays and then gamma rays. Therefore, X-rays have frequencies higher than ultraviolet light but lower than gamma rays. Infrared light, microwaves, and radio waves all have lower frequencies than ultraviolet light.
