Solution
Wavelength range for different rays of the electromagnetic spectrum is as follows: Gamma (γ) rays - less than 1nm Ultraviolet rays - 10nm−400nm Visible light - 400nm−800nm Infrared rays - 800nm−105nm Microwaves - 105nm−108nm
The electromagnetic spectrum arranged according to decreasing wavelengths: Microwaves > Infrared > Visible light > UV rays > Gamma rays
