Rank these electromagnetic waves on the basis of their speed (in vacuum).

Question:

A. Rank these electromagnetic waves on the basis of their speed (in vacuum).
–> Green Light, Infrared Light, FM Radio Wave, AM Radio Wave, X Ray, Yellow Light.

B. Rank these electromagnetic waves on the basis of their wavelength.
–>Green Light, Infrared Light, FM Radio Wave, AM Radio Wave, X Ray, Yellow Light.

C. Rank these electromagnetic waves on the basis of their frequency.
–> Green Light, Infrared Light, FM Radio Wave, AM Radio Wave, X Ray, Yellow Light.

Solution:-

(A) Speed: All electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed in vacuum:

Green Light = Infrared Light = FM Radio Wave = AM Radio Waves = X-ray= Yellow Light

(B)  From largest to smallest wavelength:

AM Radio Wave > FM Radio Wave > Infrared Light > Yellow Light > Green Light > X-ray

(C)  From largest to smallest frequency:

X-ray > Green Light > Yellow Light > Infrared Light > FM Radio Wave > AM Radio Wave
