Answer 1

Among the options provided, microwaves have the greatest wavelength.

Here’s a brief comparison:

• Microwaves: Longer wavelengths, typically ranging from about 1 millimeter to 1 meter.
• Infrared light: Wavelengths range from about 700 nanometers to 1 millimeter (shorter than microwaves).
• Visible light: Wavelengths range from approximately 400 to 700 nanometers (shorter than infrared).
• X-rays: Have much shorter wavelengths, ranging from about 0.01 to 10 nanometers.

So, the correct answer is microwaves.
