Question

Rank the following types of electromagnetic radiation from lowest energy to highest energy: infrared, microwave, radio waves, gamma rays, visible, and ultraviolet. The following experiments were carried out and observations recorded. Copper metal was added to an aqueous solution of silver nitrate Observation: The copper become coated with a substance. Lead metal was added to an aqueous solution of copper(ll) nitrate Observation: The lead turned black and crumbled. Zinc metal was added to an aqueous solution of lead(ll) nitrate Observation: The zinc appeared to fall apart. Rank the metals from most active to least active. Name the straight chain hydrocarbon that contains eight carbon atoms.

Explanation / Answer

Order of energy from lower to higher

Radio waves < Micro waves <  infrared < visible - UV <   X rays <  gamma rays

12.4 peV-12.4 neV 124 neV-1.24 meV 12.4 meV 12.4 eV-124 eV 1.24 keV-124 keV 1.24MeV

1pev=10-12 ev; 1nev=10-9 ev ; 1mev=10-3 ev 1Mev=106 ev; 1Kev=103ev;
