Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from lowest to highest frequency?

63% Answer Correctly

visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves

infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light

radio waves → visible light → gamma rays

microwaves → radio waves → visible light


Solution

The electromagnetic spectrum covers all possible wavelengths and frequencies of radiation.  From lowest frequency (longest wavelength) to highest frequency (shortest wavelength) radiation: radio waves → microwaves → infrared waves → visible light → ultraviolet light → X-rays → gamma rays.


4

Food is mixed with gastric acid and pepsin in the __________ to help break down protein.

77% Answer Correctly
