A : Blue light           B : Yellow light

C : X-ray                 D : Radiowave.

Choose an option

Show full solutionCorrect option: C
Correct answer
CD, B, A, C

Step-by-step explanation

Energy is in terms of increasing wavelength, we have

X-rays < Blue light < Yellow light < Radio waves

Since

Therefore, order of increasing energy is

ERadio waves < EYellow light < EBlue light < EX-rays
