The correct statement that compares an ultraviolet wave to a microwave is:
An ultraviolet wave has more energy than a microwave because it has a shorter wavelength and a higher frequency.
This is accurate because ultraviolet waves have shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies than microwaves, which correspond to higher energy according to the relationships defined by physics (energy is inversely proportional to wavelength and directly proportional to frequency).
