Rank the following kinds of waves according to their wavelength ranges from those with the largest typical or average wavelength to the smallest, noting any cases of equality:

(a) gamma rays
(b) microwaves
(c) radio waves
(d) visible light
(e) x-rays


1.c > b > d > e > a
2.b > c > e > b > a
3.a > e > d > b > c
4.e = a = c = d = b
