CUET PG 2026 Agri-Business Management Question Paper (25-Mar-2026) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
A, D, C, B, E

Electromagnetic Waves: Ordering by Wavelength

The arrangement of electromagnetic waves is determined by their wavelength ($\lambda$), frequency ($f$), and energy ($E$). These properties are related: as wavelength increases, frequency and energy decrease. The order from shortest wavelength (highest frequency/energy) to longest wavelength (lowest frequency/energy) is key.

Standard EM Spectrum Order (Increasing Wavelength)

The main types of electromagnetic waves, ordered by increasing wavelength, are:

  • Gamma rays (A)
  • Ultraviolet rays (D)
  • Visible rays (C)
  • Infrared rays (B)
  • Radio waves (E)

This order corresponds to decreasing frequency and energy.

Sequence Analysis

Matching the given waves to their position in the spectrum by wavelength:

A. Gamma rays: Shortest wavelength

D. Ultraviolet rays: Shorter than visible

C. Visible rays: Middle range

B. Infrared rays: Longer than visible

E. Radio waves: Longest wavelength

Therefore, the correct arrangement in increasing order of wavelength is A, D, C, B, E.
