Answer 1

The correct response is:

An ultraviolet wave has more energy than a microwave because it has a shorter wavelength and a higher frequency.

Explanation: In the electromagnetic spectrum, ultraviolet waves have shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies compared to microwaves. According to the relationship between energy, frequency, and wavelength in electromagnetic waves, energy increases with higher frequency and decreases with longer wavelength. Therefore, ultraviolet waves possess more energy than microwaves.
