Physics Question on Electromagnetic waves
Which is the correct ascending order of wavelengths?
A
λvisible < λX-ray < λgamma-ray <λmicrowave
B
λgamma-ray < λX-ray < λvisible < λmicrowave
C
λX-ray < λgamma-ray < λvisible < λmicrowave
D
λmicrowave < λvisible < λgamma-ray < λX-ray
Answer
λgamma-ray < λX-ray < λvisible < λmicrowave
Explanation
Solution
The correct answer is (B) : λgamma-ray < λX-ray < λvisible < λmicrowave
Explanation:
Wave length of microwave is maximum then visible light then X-rays and then gamma rays.
so the correct order will be
⇒λgamma-ray<λX-ray<λvisible<λmicrowave
