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\Rightarrow \lambda_{\text{gamma-ray}} < \lambda_{\text{X-ray}} < \lambda_{\text{visible}} < \lambda_{\text{microwave}}
