Which type of electromagnetic radiation has the longest wavelength? A) ultraviolet
B) infrared
C) X-ray
D) visible

B. Infrared.

Explanation:

Referring to the electromagnetic spectrum, ultraviolet rays can be measured with a frequency of 10‐⁸, infrared has a frequency of 10‐⁵, visible radiation has a frequency of 0.5 x 10‐⁶ meanwhile X-rays show a frequency of 10‐¹⁰.

Hence, the largest magnitude among the rest goes to infrared rays, which makes B the correct answer.

the ozone layer acts as a filter for the shorter wavelength and highly hazardous ultraviolet radiation (uvr) from the sun, protecting life on earth from its potentially harmful effects. when the sky is clear, there is an inverse relationship between stratospheric ozone and solar uvr measured at the earth's surface.
