300
Astronomers think that explosions of stars in distant galaxies are one way of producing these rays
What are gamma rays
300
Infrared rays have a higher frequency than radio waves so they have LESS energy than radio waves.
What is FALSE .. they have MORE energy than radio waves

What are ultraviolet rays
400
Satellites in space use infrared cameras to study the growth of plants AND the motions of clouds
What is TRUE
500
These do not require a medium, so they can transfer energy through a vacuum.
What are electromagnetic waves
