In each of the following pairs, select the form of radiation with the LOWER ENERGY

Question

1. red light OR blue light
2. microwaves OR radio waves
3. infrared radiation or red light
4. gamma rays or UV radiation
5. yellow light or green light
6. x-rays or gamma rays
7. UV radiation or violet light
8. AM radio waves or FM radio waves

Answer 1

To determine which form of radiation has lower energy in each pair, we can consider the relationship between the wavelength/frequency of electromagnetic radiation and its energy. Energy increases with frequency and decreases with wavelength. Here are the answers for each pair:

1. Red light (lower energy) OR blue light
2. Microwaves (lower energy) OR radio waves
3. Infrared radiation (lower energy) OR red light
4. Gamma rays or UV radiation (UV has lower energy compared to gamma rays)
5. Yellow light (lower energy) OR green light
6. X-rays (lower energy) OR gamma rays
7. UV radiation (lower energy) OR violet light
8. AM radio waves (lower energy) OR FM radio waves

In summary:

1. Red light
2. Microwaves
3. Infrared radiation
4. UV radiation
5. Yellow light
6. X-rays
7. UV radiation
8. AM radio waves
