1 answer

The correct sequence showing the different types of electromagnetic waves arranged in increasing order of their frequency is:

A. radio waves, microwaves, visible light, x-rays

The general order of electromagnetic waves from lowest frequency to highest frequency is:

  1. Radio waves
  2. Microwaves
  3. Infrared
  4. Visible light
  5. Ultraviolet
  6. X-rays
  7. Gamma rays

So, according to this hierarchy, option A is correct.
