Question
**Match the Wavelengths of Light with the Electromagnetic Spectrum:** The exercise involves matching six different wavelengths of light, measured in meters (m), to their corresponding parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. **Wavelengths of Light:** - \(5 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{m}\) - \(1 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{m}\) - \(5.5 \times 10^{-8} \, \text{m}\) - \(6 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{m}\) - \(1 \times 10^{-12} \, \text{m}\) - \(2 \, \text{m}\) **Parts of the Electromagnetic Spectrum:** 1. Gamma rays 2. X rays 3. Ultraviolet 4. Visible light 5. Infrared 6. Radio The task is to correctly identify which section each wavelength belongs to in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Expert Solution
Step 1

*Electromagnetic waves are categorized according to their frequency f or, equivalently, according to their wavelength λ = c/f.

*EM rays are arranged in the increasing order of their wavelength:

Gamma rays < X Rays < UV Rays < Infrared Rays < Microwaves < Radiowaves

Gamma rays have the shortest wavelengths and radio waves have the longest.
