Question

quiz:
x - rays and uv and gamma rays
what do radio waves and microwaves have in common?
○ both have radiant energy than visible light.
○ both have shorter wavelengths than visible light.
○ both are at the side of the spectrum that has the highest frequency.
○ both have lower frequencies than visible light.

Explanation:

Radio waves and microwaves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum. On this spectrum, they occupy the region with longer wavelengths and lower frequencies compared to visible light.

• The first option is grammatically incorrect and factually wrong, as they have less radiant energy than visible light.
• The second option is wrong, as they have longer wavelengths than visible light.
• The third option is wrong, as they are on the lowest frequency end of the spectrum.
• The fourth option correctly states their shared property relative to visible light.

Answer:

Both have lower frequencies than visible light.
