Which of the following is not a type of electromagnetic radiation?a)x-...
The groups of electromagnetic radiation are radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible lightwaves, ultraviolet waves, x-ray waves, and gammawaves. I have listed those seven types of electromagnetic radiation in increasing energy.Sound wave energy is distinctly different than electromagnetic wave energy.

Electromagnetic Radiation
Electromagnetic radiation is a form of energy that is all around us. It can be classified into various types based on their wavelengths and frequencies.
X-rays, Ultraviolet Radiation, and Red Light
X-rays, ultraviolet radiation, and red light are all examples of electromagnetic radiation. X-rays have very high energy and short wavelengths, making them suitable for medical imaging and security screening. Ultraviolet radiation has slightly longer wavelengths than x-rays and is responsible for causing sunburns and skin damage. Red light, on the other hand, has longer wavelengths and lower energy compared to x-rays and ultraviolet radiation. It is part of the visible light spectrum and is the lowest energy form of electromagnetic radiation that can be detected by the human eye.
Sound Waves
Sound waves are not a form of electromagnetic radiation. They are mechanical waves that require a medium, such as air or water, to travel through. Sound waves are produced by vibrations and can be heard by our ears. Unlike electromagnetic radiation, sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum because they rely on the vibration of particles in a medium to propagate. Sound waves have frequencies and amplitudes but are not considered a type of electromagnetic radiation.
