Which of the following is the highest electromagnetic wave?
A
X-ray
B
Infrared
C
Microwaves
D
Radiowave
Answer
X-ray
Explanation
Solution
X-rays have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths compared to the other options listed. As electromagnetic waves, they are situated in the high-frequency end of the electromagnetic spectrum, above ultraviolet light. Therefore, X-rays have more energy and higher electromagnetic frequencies compared to infrared, microwaves, and radio waves.
So, the correct option is (A): X-rays.
