Kamala made a table to describe parts of the electromagnetic spectrum.

A 3-column table with 4 rows. The first column labeled wave has entries visible, microwaves, infrared, gamma rays. The second column labeled frequency has entries medium, low, low, very low. The third column labeled Wavelength has entries medium, long, long, very short.

What mistake did Kamala make?

Gamma rays should have a very high frequency, not a very low frequency.
Visible light should have a low frequency and a long wavelength.
Infrared light should have a short wavelength, not a long wavelength.
Microwaves should have a high frequency and a short wavelength.

She reversed the scale for gamma rays. Gamma rays have very high frequency and very short wavelength (frequency and wavelength are inversely related). The correct entries are:

- Gamma rays: very high frequency, very short wavelength
- Visible: medium frequency, medium wavelength
- Infrared: lower frequency than visible, longer wavelength than visible
- Microwaves: low frequency, long wavelength

So only the first sentence ("Gamma rays should have a very high frequency...") is correct; the others are incorrect.
