Arrange the following types of photons of electromagnetic radiation in order of decreasing energy: red light, radio, x-rays, γ-rays, infrared.

1. x-rays > γ-rays > red light > infrared > radio
2. radio > red light > infrared > x-rays

The correct order is

γ-rays > x-rays> red light > infrared > radio

Explanation:

In the electromagnetic spectrum we have the following electromagnetic radiation Radio waves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet light, X-ray and gamma rays. Gamma rays have the highest  frequency and radio waves the lowest. From the formula;

E=hf,      where;

E is energy

h is Planck constant

f is frequency

We can see that the energy of these radiation depends on the magnitude of their frequency. Hence Gamma ray with highest frequency will have the highest energy and radio waves the lowest energy. Red light however is found at the lower end of the visible light spectrum . the correct order is;

γ-rays > x-rays> red light > infrared > radio

would be false hope this out
