Which of the following represents the typical wavelength range of the electromagnetic wave that is widely used for studying crystal structures?

Options

  1. A10−8 m10^{-8}\text{ m} to 10−13 m10^{-13}\text{ m}
  2. B4×10−7 m4 \times 10^{-7}\text{ m} to 6×10−10 m6 \times 10^{-10}\text{ m}
  3. C10−3 m10^{-3}\text{ m} to 7×10−7 m7 \times 10^{-7}\text{ m}
  4. D0.3 m0.3\text{ m} to 10−3 m10^{-3}\text{ m}

Correct answer

A. 10−8 m10^{-8}\text{ m} to 10−13 m10^{-13}\text{ m}

Step-by-step solution

The electromagnetic waves used for studying crystal structures are X-rays.

According to the electromagnetic spectrum, X-rays have a typical wavelength range from about 10−8 m10^{-8}\text{ m} (10 nm) down to 10−13 m10^{-13}\text{ m} (10−410^{-4} nm).

The range 4×10−7 m4 \times 10^{-7}\text{ m} to 6×10−10 m6 \times 10^{-10}\text{ m} corresponds to ultraviolet rays.

The range 10−3 m10^{-3}\text{ m} to 7×10−7 m7 \times 10^{-7}\text{ m} corresponds to infrared waves.

The range 0.3 m0.3\text{ m} to 10−3 m10^{-3}\text{ m} corresponds to microwaves.

Answer: 10−8 m10^{-8}\text{ m} to 10−13 m10^{-13}\text{ m}
