(C-A-B-E-D) The electromagnetic spectrum in increasing order of frequency is: $FM$ radio waves < microwave radiation < visible light (amber) < $X$-rays < cosmic rays.
The order is: $(c) < (a) < (b) < (e) < (d)$.
Radiation Type Frequency Range $(Hz)$
$(c)$ $FM$ radio $\sim 10^{6}$
$(a)$ Microwave $\sim 10^{10}$
$(b)$ Amber light $\sim 10^{14}$
$(e)$ $X$-rays $10^{17} - 10^{19}$
$(d)$ Cosmic rays $> 10^{20}$
