If microwaves, X‐X ‐rays, infrared, gamma rays, ultraviolet, radio waves and visible parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are denoted respectively by MM, XX, II, GG, UU, RR and VV the following is the arrangement in ascending order of the wavelength

Options

  1. AII, MM, RR, UU, VV, XX and GG
  2. BRR, MM, II, VV, UU, XX and GG
  3. CMM, RR, VV, XX, UU, GG and II
  4. DGG, XX, UU, VV, II, MM and RR

Correct answer

D. GG, XX, UU, VV, II, MM and RR

Step-by-step solution

The electromagnetic (EM) spectrum is the range of all types of EM radiation. The γ‐\gamma ‐ray has a maximum frequency or minimum wavelength; since the wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency, while radio wave has a minimum frequency and maximum wavelength. The order of wavelength will be; Gamma rays GG < X-rays XX < Ultra violet UU < Visible rays VV < Infrared rays II < Microwaves MM < Radio waves RR.
