Question:
The correct order of electromagnetic waves with increasing frequency is
The correct order of electromagnetic waves with increasing frequency is
Show Hint
Frequency increases across the electromagnetic spectrum as:
\[
\text{Radio} \rightarrow \text{Microwave} \rightarrow \text{Infrared} \rightarrow \text{Visible} \rightarrow \text{Ultraviolet} \rightarrow \text{X-rays} \rightarrow \text{Gamma rays}
\]

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Recall the electromagnetic spectrum.
The electromagnetic spectrum arranged in increasing order of frequency is \[ \text{Radio waves} \lt \text{Microwaves} \lt \text{Infrared} \lt \text{Visible light} \lt \text{Ultraviolet} \lt \text{X-rays} \lt \text{Gamma rays} \]
Step 2: Compare the given waves.
Among the waves given in the options: Infrared has lower frequency than X-rays and Gamma rays have the highest frequency.
Therefore, the increasing order of frequency is \[ \text{Infrared} \lt \text{X-rays} \lt \text{Gamma rays} \]
Step 3: Final conclusion.
Hence, the correct order is \[ \boxed{\text{Infrared, x-rays, gamma rays}} \]
