Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Radio waves have the highest atmospheric transmission as they have the longest wavelength and the lowest frequency, and can easily pass through the atmosphere without interacting with the molecules in the air. In contrast, gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency and are easily absorbed by the atmosphere, while ultraviolet (UV) light and infrared (IR) radiation are partially absorbed by the atmosphere, reducing their transmission.
