How are the energy of infrared, visible light and ultraviolet rays related? and why? a) infrared contains the least energy and ultraviolet contains the most energy. the energy of a wave is proportional to its wavelength. b) infrared contains the most energy and ultraviolet contains the least energy. the energy of a wave is proportional to its wavelength. c) infrared contains the least energy and ultraviolet contains the most energy. the energy of a wave is inversely proportional to its wavelength. d) infrared contains the most energy and ultraviolet contains the least energy. the energy of a wave is inversely proportional to its wavelength.

The correct answer is Option C.

Explanation:

Energy of the Electromagnetic Spectrum is given by the Planck's equation:

Where,

E = Energy of the wave

h = Planck's constant

= Frequency of the wave

And we know that,

where,

c = Speed of light

= Wavelength of the wave

Putting the value of frequency in energy equation, we get:

From the above relation, we get that energy is inversely related to wavelength of the wave.

From the spectra, we know that order of wavelength follows:

Infrared > Visible > UV

So, the order of energy gets reversed and the order becomes:

Infrared < Visible < UV

From the above information, we conclude that the correct option is Option C.

because it says use -2,0,and 2 for x, we can plug those numbers into the equation. y/4=3/4(-2)+2   y/4= -1 1/2 +2 now to get x by itself, we can multiply each side by 4. y=-6+8 which equals y=2 when x=-2. now you can do the same thing with 0 and 2 as x. you get y=8 when x=0 and y=14 when x=2.

x   |   y

-2 |   2

0   |   8

2   |   14
