The electromagnetic spectrum arranges electromagnetic radiation in order of wavelength, frequency, and energy. The order from lowest frequency (longest wavelength, lowest energy) to highest frequency (shortest wavelength, highest energy) is: Radio waves, Microwaves, Infrared, Visible light, Ultraviolet, X-rays, Gamma rays.
Which is the correct ascending order of the electromagnetic spectrum in terms of increasing frequency?
