1 answer

To list the waves in order of frequency from highest to lowest, we can analyze the electromagnetic spectrum. The general order from highest frequency to lowest frequency is:

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

Based on this order, the correct sequence from your provided options is:

  • Gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet

This is the only list that correctly follows the order of frequency from highest (gamma rays) to lowest (ultraviolet).
