Put these regions in order of increasing photon energy.

1. Ultraviolet   2. Radio frequency   3. Infrared   4. Visible

  • A.2, 3, 4, 1
  • B.1, 4, 3, 2
  • C.2, 4, 3, 1
  • D.3, 2, 4, 1

Answer: A

Correct answer: 2, 3, 4, 1

Photon energy rises with frequency, so the order follows the spectrum: radiofrequency is the least energetic, then infrared, then visible, then ultraviolet. The same order gives what each region can do - flip a nuclear spin, excite a vibration, and promote an electron, the last requiring the most energy of the four.
