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