Based on the characteristics of the electromagnetic spectrum, the accurate statement is:
An X-ray wave exhibits a frequency greater than that of an infrared wave.
In the electromagnetic spectrum, X-rays have a higher frequency and therefore higher energy than infrared waves. The other statements are incorrect because:
- A radio wave has a much longer wavelength than a gamma ray.
- An ultraviolet wave has higher energy than an infrared wave.
- A radio wave has lower energy compared to a microwave.
Therefore, the correct response is the statement about X-rays and infrared waves.
