Consider the following seven types of electromagentic waves: visible light, microwaves, radio waves, gamma rays, infrared, uv and x-rays

a) place the waves in order from shortest wavelength to longest

b)place the waves in order fromm lowest frequency to highest

c) which waves travels with the highest velocity in a vacuum

Solutions

Expert Solution

after a carefull study of the the table, answers can be obtained easily

part A: wavelength ( shrotest to longest)

gamma > X rays > UV > Visible > infrared> Micro > radio wave

---------------------

part B : frequency ( lowest to greatest)

radio > Micro > Infra > Visible > UV > X rays > Gamma

------------------

part C:

all the em radiations travel with same speed = speed of light

Visible = micro = radio = gamma = infra = uv = X rays

Microwaves are a type of radio waves. Microwave ovens typically use microwaves with a wavelength of 12 cm. They are able to heat foods because water molecules absorb the energy of the microwave photons. If you heat a cup of water from 25°C to 100°C, how many microwave photons, on average, hit each molecule of water while it is being heated?
