The energy of microwaves is less than the energy of ultraviolet light. which comparison of the energies of electromagnetic waves is correct?
a. x-rays have lower energy than gamma rays because x-rays have higher frequencies.
b. x-rays have lower energy than gamma rays because x-rays have shorter wavelengths.
c. visible light has higher energy than infrared light because visible light has longer wavelengths.
d. visible light has higher energy than infrared light because visible light has higher frequencies.

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

The energy(E) of the electromagnetic waves is given by:

=  frequency of the electromagnetic wave.

= wavelength of the electromagnetic wave.

The order of electromagnetic spectrum from highest frequency to lowest frequency is :

γ-rays> X-rays> UV-rays>Visible Light>Infrared>microwaves>Radio waves.

From the spectrum, the frequency of the visible light is higher than that of the infrared rays. Higher the frequency higher will be the energy of the wave.Hence option D is a correct answer.

each chemical family is represented as a group or column on the periodic table. based on chemical properties, there are 6 types of chemical families. group 1 represents alkali metals, group 2 represents alkaline earth metals, groups 3 to 12 represent transition metals, groups 13 to 16 represent non-metals and other metals, group 17 represents halogens and group 18 represents noble gases.
