To determine which electromagnetic wave corresponds to the listed energy levels, we need to know the relative energy associated with each type of wave:
-
Gamma rays - These have the highest energy levels, typically ranging from about 100 keV (0.1 MeV) to several MeV, which translates to energy levels in the MeV range (millions of electron volts).
-
Visible light waves - The energy for visible light is generally in the range of about 1.65 - 3.1 eV, corresponding to the colors violet to red.
-
Infrared waves - Energy levels for infrared waves typically range from about 0.001 eV up to approximately 1.5 eV.
-
Radio waves - They have the lowest energy levels, generally less than 0.001 eV.
Without specific energy values to fill in the question mark, if the values are high (in the MeV range), the answer would be gamma rays. If the values are in eV and represent visible light, it would be visible light waves, and similarly for infrared and radio waves based on their energy ranges.
If you can provide the specific energy level associated with the question mark, I can help identify the correct type of electromagnetic wave more accurately.
