Answer 1

The statement that BEST compares an ultraviolet wave to a microwave is:

"An ultraviolet wave has more energy than a microwave because it has a shorter wavelength and a higher frequency."

Ultraviolet waves have shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies compared to microwaves, which results in them carrying more energy.
