Rank the following kinds of electromagnetic radiation in order of decreasing wavelength?Red Light, Radio Waves, Microwaves, Infrared Light, Ultraviolet Light, X-rays, Gamma Rays, Violet Light

Answered by maham237 @


In order of decreasing wavelength:

Radio Waves

Microwaves

Infrared light

Red light

Violet light

Ultraviolet light

X-rays

Gamma rays

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum is a classification of all the electromagnetic waves depending on their wavelength and their frequency. The waves with longest wavelength are radio waves, which have wavelenght that spans from a few mm up to several km. The waves with shortes wavelength are gamma rays, which have wavelength shorter than 10 picometers.

More or less at the centre of the electromagnetic spectrum light the visible part of the spectrum, which is usually classified into 7 colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet (decreasing wavelength). Red light is the color with longer wavelenght (approx. 750 nanometers), while violet light has the shortest wavelength (approx. 380 nanometers).
