Electromagnetic waves are organized by frequency (or wavelength) into a spectrum. From lowest to highest frequency, the order is as follows:
1. **Radio Waves**: These have the lowest frequencies and longest wavelengths.
2. **Microwaves**: These have higher frequencies than radio waves.
3. **Infrared Radiation**: Frequencies higher than microwaves, but lower than visible light.
4. **Visible Light**: This is the range of electromagnetic waves that can be seen by the human eye.
5. **Ultraviolet (UV) Radiation**: Frequencies higher than visible light.
6. **X-Rays**: These have higher frequencies than UV rays.
7. **Gamma Rays**: These have the highest frequencies and shortest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum.
So the order from lowest to highest frequency is: Radio Waves, Microwaves, Infrared, Visible Light, Ultraviolet, X-Rays, Gamma Rays.
1. **Radio Waves**: These have the lowest frequencies and longest wavelengths.
2. **Microwaves**: These have higher frequencies than radio waves.
