The energy of microwaves is less than the energy of ultraviolet light. Which comparison of the energies of

electromagnetic waves is correct?


O Gamma rays have higher energy than microwaves because gamma rays have shorter wavelengths.

O Gamma rays have higher energy than microwaves because gamma rays have lower frequencies.

O Infrared light has lower energy than X-rays because infrared light has shorter wavelengths.

O Infrared light has lower energy than X-rays because infrared light has higher frequencies.

Respuesta :

Answer:

A. Gamma rays have higher energy than microwaves because gamma rays have shorter wavelengths.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are waves produced by the interaction between both magnetic and electric fields. These waves have some properties that make them to be arranged in a definite form producing an electromagnetic spectrum.

The spectrum has a general property of which as the wavelength of the waves increases, the frequency decreases. And vice versa.

Thus, the energy of the waves increases as the frequency increases.

Gamma rays have higher frequency, but shorter wavelength. While microwaves has lower frequency, but higher wavelength.

Yes, the answer is A
