Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The electromagnetic spectrum is categorized by frequency ranges as follows: Radiowaves have a frequency range typically from \(10^4 \text{ Hz}\) to \(10^8 \text{ Hz}\). This matches (A) with (R). Microwaves have a frequency range typically from \(10^9 \text{ Hz}\) to…
