Solution Steps

Step 1: Understanding the Electromagnetic Spectrum

The electromagnetic spectrum is a range of all types of electromagnetic radiation. The order of the spectrum from highest frequency to lowest frequency is as follows:

  • Gamma rays
  • X-rays
  • Ultraviolet (UV) light
  • Visible light
  • Infrared (IR) light
  • Microwaves
  • Radio waves
Step 2: Identifying the Correct Order

We need to identify the correct order from the given options based on the electromagnetic spectrum's frequency order.

Step 3: Analyzing the Options

Let's analyze each option:

  1. Visible light, radio waves, microwaves, ultraviolet
    • This order is incorrect because visible light has a higher frequency than microwaves and radio waves, but lower than ultraviolet.
  2. Ultraviolet, radio waves, visible light, microwaves
    • This order is incorrect because radio waves have the lowest frequency, and they should be at the end.
  3. Visible light, microwaves, radio waves, ultraviolet
    • This order is incorrect because ultraviolet has a higher frequency than visible light.
  4. Ultraviolet, visible light, microwaves, radio waves
    • This order is correct because it follows the correct sequence from highest to lowest frequency.

Final Answer

\(\boxed{\text{Ultraviolet, visible light, microwaves, radio waves}}\)
