Question

Name the electromagnetic wave used (i) in radar, (ii) in eye surgery, and (iii) as a diagnostic tool in medicine. Write their wavelength range also.

Hint:

Different regions of the electromagnetic spectrum are used for various applications based on their energy and penetration ability: microwaves for communication, UV for precision surgical procedures, and X-rays for imaging inside the body.

Answer 1

\begin{center} \begin{tabular}{|c|l|l|} \hline Application & Electromagnetic Wave Used & Wavelength Range
\hline (i) Radar & Microwaves & \( 1\,\text{mm} \text{ to } 1\,\text{m} \)
\hline (ii) Eye surgery & Ultraviolet (UV) rays & \( 10\,\text{nm} \text{ to } 400\,\text{nm} \)
\hline (iii) Diagnostic tool in medicine & X-rays & \( 0.01\,\text{nm} \text{ to } 10\,\text{nm} \)
\hline \end{tabular} \end{center}
