Consider the following three electromagnetic waves: Microwaves (), Infrared rays (), and Ultraviolet rays (). Which of the following represents the correct increasing order of their photon energies?
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
The energy of a photon is given by , where is the wavelength.
The order of wavelengths for the given electromagnetic waves is:
Since photon energy is inversely proportional to wavelength, the order of their energies is:
Thus, the correct increasing order is .
