Question

Match the following types of waves with their wavelength ranges

• A. i – b, ii – a, iii – d, iv – c
• B. i – a, ii – b, iii – c, iv – d
• C. i – b, ii – c, iii – d, iv – a
• D. i – d, ii – b, iii – a, iv – c

Hint:

When studying the electromagnetic spectrum, know the approximate wavelength ranges for different types of waves (microwaves, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

- Microwave: Microwaves have wavelengths ranging from 1 mm to 1 m, which corresponds to option (a) 700 nm to 400 nm. - Visible light: Visible light has wavelengths ranging from 400 nm to 700 nm, which corresponds to option (b) 1 nm to 10\( ^{3} \) nm. - Ultraviolet: Ultraviolet light has wavelengths between 0.1 nm and 400 nm, which corresponds to option (c). - X-rays: X-rays have wavelengths between 0.1 nm and 1 nm, which corresponds to option (d). Thus, the correct matching is option (2).
