Which of the following has the least wavelength?

  • A.X-rays
  • B.Microwaves
  • C.Ultra Violet rays
  • D.Radio waves

Answer: A

X-rays have the least wavelength among these.

In order of decreasing wavelength the electromagnetic spectrum runs: radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays. Radio waves can be metres to kilometres long, microwaves millimetres to centimetres, ultraviolet about 10 to 400 nm, and X-rays roughly 0.01 to 10 nm.

So of the four options X-rays are shortest; ultraviolet is next, and microwaves and radio waves are far longer.
