Select the correct statement:
A) ultraviolet light has a longer wavelength than infrared
B) blue light has a higher frequency than x rays
C) radio waves have higher frequency than gamma rays
D) gamma rays have higher frequency than infra-red waves
E) electrons are a type of electromagnetic wave

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The frequency of a wave is inversely proportional to its wavelength. Therefore, if one wave has a higher frequency than another, it must have a shorter wavelength. Gamma rays have the highest frequency and shortest wavelength among the listed options, while infrared has the lowest frequency and longest wavelength.
