Which one of the following types of radiation has the shortest wavelength, the greatest energy, and the highest frequency? a. Ultraviolet radiation. b. Infrared radiation. c. Visible red light. d. Visible blue light.



Answer :

Among the given radiations, the one with shortest wavelength, highest energy and highest frequency is ultraviolet radiation.

What is electromagnetic spectrum?

Electromagnetic spectrum is the arrangement of different radiations in  the order of decreasing wavelength or increasing frequency. The wavelength of an electromagnetic wave is inversely proportional to the frequency and energy.

Thus, as the frequency increases energy of the wave increases and wavelength decreases. The order of waves in the decreasing order of wavelength is, radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, x-ray and gamma ray.

Thus, among the given radiation, the highest energy, highest frequency and shortest wavelength is ultraviolet radiation.
