Solution

The correct option is B velocity
Answer: B
speed of electromagnetic wave in vacuum is given by:-
c(speed of light)=frequency× wavelength =1μ0ϵ0=constant
as we go from gamma rays to radio waves frequency decreases and wavelength increases thereby maintaining the product constant.
Energy is given by:- E=hν since ν is different so energy is also different.
Also wavelength and frequency varies.
