gamma rays, visible, infrared, microwaves
B
infrared, gamma rays, microwaves, visible
C
microwaves, infrared, visible, gamma rays
D
visible, microwaves, gamma rays, infrared

Explanation

Photon energy increases with frequency, according to E = hf. Across the electromagnetic spectrum, frequency increases from microwaves to infrared to visible light to gamma rays. Therefore, choice C gives the order of increasing photon energy.
