Question

a model of the electromagnetic spectrum is shown below.
rank the following electromagnetic waves from highest frequency to lowest frequency.
radio
infrared
x - rays
visible light
lowest frequency

Explanation:

Step1: Recall EM spectrum frequency order

The electromagnetic (EM) spectrum frequency order from highest to lowest is: gamma, X - rays, ultraviolet, visible light, infrared, microwave, radio. From the given waves (radio, infrared, X - rays, visible light), we sort them.

Step2: Sort the given waves

Highest frequency: X - rays (since in EM spectrum, X - rays have higher frequency than visible light, infrared, and radio). Then visible light (higher than infrared and radio). Then infrared (higher than radio). Lowest frequency: radio. So the order from highest to lowest frequency is X - rays, visible light, infrared, radio. But the question asks to rank from highest to lowest (and the first position is radio in the initial box, we need to re - order). Wait, the task is to rank the given waves (radio, infrared, X - rays, visible light) from highest frequency to lowest. So:

1. X - rays (highest among the given)
2. Visible light
3. Infrared
4. Radio (lowest among the given)

Answer:

From highest frequency to lowest frequency, the order is: X - rays, visible light, infrared, radio. So the ranking (filling the boxes from highest to lowest, with the first box being highest) would be:

1. X - rays
2. visible light
3. infrared
4. radio
