Answer:
shortest - gamma Ray's
size of a pencil tip : most likely microwaves
longest - radio waves
Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength whereas Radio waves have the longest wavelength. The wave whose wavelength is about the size of the tip of a pencil is infrared ray.
The whole electromagnetic waves are divided into several classes based on their frequencies or energies as follows, in the order of increasing frequency:
Radio waves
Microwaves
Infrared
Visible
Ultraviolet
X-rays
Gamma rays
The Gamma rays are the shortest wavelength group with frequencies greater than 3 × 10²⁰ Hz.
The Radio waves are the longest wavelength group. Their frequency is lower than 3 × 10⁷ Hz.
The tip of a pencil is about 0.5mm in width.
Calculate the frequency of the wave whose wavelength is about the size of the tip of a pencil i.e. λ = 0.5 mm,
ν = 3×10⁸/(0.5×10⁻³) = 6×10¹¹ Hz.
The infrared rays have frequencies in the range of 3×10¹¹ Hz to 3×10¹³ Hz. So, the wave is infrared.
Infrared waves have a wavelength about the tip of a pencil.
