Which of the following types of electromagnetic radiation has the longest wavelength? Radio waves Ultraviolet waves Visible light X-rays

I know but i don't know how to do it thats why i asked for help @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

stuff on the very right has a short wave length the stuff on the very left has a longer wave length example: gamma rays have the shortest wave length (since it's 10^(-12) meters) while x rays have slightly longer wavelengths because they are to the left of gamma rays

btw Idk why but my notifications aren't working, so I didn't get that tag mention for some reason

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

longest wavelength \(\lambda\) is associated with a littlest frequency \(\nu\), due to this relationship: \(\lambda \nu=c\) where \(c \) is the speed of the electromagnetic waves in vacuum. Furthermore, from the spectrum of the electromagnetic wave, we can see that onde radio have the longest wavelength among the radiations you provided

oops.. onde radio is in italian, I meant Radio waves
