    Answer: gamma rays < ultraviolet light < radio waves

    Explanation: We have to explain the ordering we take into account a relationship for electromagnetic wave, which is given by:

    c=λ*ν c is the speed of light. λ and ν are the wavelegth and the frequency of the waves.

    Then we also know that the high frequency of these radiation correspond to the gamma ray (10^18 1/s) while the lowest correspond to radio wave (10^8 1/s) so:

    The ultraviolet ligth is ranged at frequencies of 10^16 1/s located bewteen gamma and radio radiation.

    as large frequency lower wavelength we can order these radiations from short to long wavelengths as follows:

    gamma rays < ultraviolet light < radio waves
