SSC MTS EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -In order from highest to lowest energy, the sections of the EM spectrum are named: gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet radiation, visible light, infrared radiation, and radio waves. Microwaves (like the ones used in microwave ovens) are a subsection of the radio wave segment of the EM spectrum.

Detailed explanation-2: -Gamma rays have the smallest wavelengths and highest frequencies known. They are high energy waves capable of travelling long distances through air and are the most penetrating waves. X-rays have longer wavelengths than gamma rays but smaller wavelengths and therefore higher energy than ultraviolet radiation.

Detailed explanation-3: -So ultraviolet waves have both the shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies than infrared waves.

Detailed explanation-4: -Explanation: Radio waves usually have the lowest frequency, while Gamma rays have the highest frequency. And as you can see the trend is opposite for wavelength, as frequency and wavelength are inversely related.
