Which of the following statements correctly compares the frequency of infrared waves and ultraviolet waves?

(1 point)
Responses

Infrared waves have higher frequency and energy than ultraviolet waves.
Infrared waves have higher frequency and energy than ultraviolet waves.

Infrared waves have the same frequency and energy as ultraviolet waves.
Infrared waves have the same frequency and energy as ultraviolet waves.

Infrared waves have higher frequencies but lower energy than ultraviolet waves.
Infrared waves have higher frequencies but lower energy than ultraviolet waves.

Infrared waves have lower frequencies and energy than ultraviolet waves.

Answer 1

The correct statement is:

Infrared waves have lower frequencies and energy than ultraviolet waves.

This is because infrared waves are on the lower-frequency (and lower-energy) side of the electromagnetic spectrum, while ultraviolet waves are on the higher-frequency (and higher-energy) side.
