\nThe electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all types of electromagnetic radiation. These radiations differ in wavelength, frequency, and energy. The question asks for the order of regions of the spectrum in terms of ascending (increasing) wavelength.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe order of the electromagnetic spectrum from shortest wavelength (highest frequency\/energy) to longest wavelength (lowest frequency\/energy) is:
\nGamma rays \u2192 X-rays \u2192 Ultraviolet (UV) \u2192 Visible light \u2192 Infrared (IR) \u2192 Microwaves \u2192 Radio waves.
\nWe need to arrange the given options in increasing wavelength.
\n<\/section>\n
\nLet’s check option C: Gamma rays \u2013 X-rays \u2013 UV \u2013 Visible \u2013 Infrared \u2013 Microwaves \u2013 Radio and TV waves. This sequence correctly lists the regions from shortest wavelength (Gamma rays) to longest wavelength (Radio waves). TV waves are a type of radio wave.
\nComparing this with the other options, none of them follow the correct order of increasing wavelength.
