The correct answer is option 1):(ultraviolet to infrared)

Concept:

  • A photometer is an instrument that measures the strength of electromagnetic radiation in the range from ultraviolet to infrared and including the visible spectrum
  • Radiation has both electric and magnetic fields and travels in waves. It comes from natural and man-made sources. Electromagnetic radiation can vary in strength from low energy to high energy. It includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared light, visible light, ultraviolet light, x-rays, and gamma rays.
  • Electromagnetic (EM)  radiation spans and includes a range of wavelengths and frequencies. This range is known as the electromagnetic spectrum. The EM spectrum is generally divided into seven regions: Radio waves, Microwaves, Infrared (IR), Visible light, Ultraviolet (UV), X-rays, and Gamma rays.
