C microwave radiationmicrowave radiation

D the frequency of all radiation is the samethe

1 answer

The radiation that has a higher frequency than visible light is:

A. X-Rays

X-rays have a shorter wavelength than visible light, which corresponds to a higher frequency. Infrared light and microwave radiation have longer wavelengths and therefore lower frequencies than visible light.
