COMEDK2021PhysicsElectromagnetic Waves
The correct arrangement in increasing order of wavelength of X-rays, UV rays, microwave is
Options
- Amicrowave, X -rays, UV rays
- BUV rays, X - rays, microwave
- CX-rays, UV rays, microwave
- Dmicrowave, UV rays, X-rays
Correct answer
C. X-rays, UV rays, microwave
Step-by-step solution
The electromagnetic spectrum in order of increasing wavelength is: Gamma rays, X-rays, Ultraviolet (UV) rays, Visible light, Infrared rays, Microwaves, and Radio waves. Comparing the given types of radiation: 1. X-rays have the shortest wavelength. 2. UV rays have a longer wavelength than X-rays. 3. Microwaves have the longest wavelength among the three. Therefore, the increasing order of wavelength is X-rays, UV rays, microwave. Answer: X-rays, UV rays, microwave
