Recall the electromagnetic spectrum order

In increasing order of wavelength, electromagnetic waves are arranged as:

$\text{gamma rays} < \text{X-rays} < \text{ultraviolet} < \text{visible} < \text{infrared} < \text{microwaves} < \text{radio waves}$

Pick only the waves mentioned in the options

The given types are:

• gamma-ray
• X-ray
• visible
• microwave

Therefore, their ascending order of wavelength is:

$\gamma\text{-ray} < X\text{-ray} < \text{visible} < \text{microwave}$

Compare with the options

• A: visible, X-ray, gamma-ray, microwave → not ascending
• B: gamma-ray, X-ray, visible, microwave → correct
• C: X-ray, gamma-ray, visible, microwave → first two are reversed
• D: microwave, visible, gamma-ray, X-ray → descending at first

Derived answer

The correct option is:

$\boxed{\text{B}}$

Comparison with stored correct answer

Stored correct answer = B

My derived answer = B

Hence, they agree.
