Solution :a. Electromagnetic waves cover a wide range of frequencies or wavelengths. An ordely arrangement of electromagnetic radiations from gamma rays of very short wavelength to radio waves of long wavelength is known as electromagnetic spectrum.
b.In the order of increasing wavelength, they are arranged as `gamma` - rays, X - rays, U.V. rays, visible light, infrared radiations, microwaves and radio waves.
c.i.Produced by ACCELERATED charges.
ii.Do not require any material for propagation.
