Question

which type of radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum has more energy than visible light?
radio waves
gamma rays
infrared light
microwaves

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In the electromagnetic spectrum, the energy of radiation is related to its frequency (or inversely to its wavelength) by the formula \( E = hf \) (where \( E \) is energy, \( h \) is Planck's constant, and \( f \) is frequency). Higher frequency means more energy. Radio waves, infrared light, and microwaves have lower frequencies (longer wavelengths) than visible light. Gamma rays have a much higher frequency (shorter wavelength) than visible light, so they have more energy.

Answer:

B. gamma rays
