Question

List this type of electromagnetic radiation in order of (i) increasing wavelength and (ii) increasing energy per photon: Infrared radiation

Expert Solution
Step 1

Electromagnetic radiation is generally classified according to their wavelength into many different waves namely radio, UV, Infrared, gamma, micro waves to name a few.

In Increasing order of wavelength, the list is shown below: 

Gamma rays<XRays<UV<Infrared<Microwaves.

Since wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency and thus the order will be opposite when it comes to with increasing frequency.
