Match List I (Wavelength range of electromagnetic spectrum) with...

Match List I (Wavelength range of electromagnetic spectrum) with List II (Method of production of these waves) and select the correct option from the options given below the lists.
List I List II
(a) 700nm700nm to 1mm1mm (i) Vibration of atoms and molecules.
(b) 1nm1nm to 400nm400nm (ii) Inner shell electrons in atoms moving from one energy level to a lower level.
(c) <10−3nm< {10}^{- 3}nm (iii) Radioactive decay of the nucleus.
(d) 1mm1mm to 0.1m0 . 1m (iv) Magnetron valve.

Options

  1. A(a) - (iii), (b) - (iv), (c) - (i), (d) - (ii)
  2. B(a) - (i), (b) - (ii), (c) - (iii), (d) - (iv)
  3. C(a) - (iv), (b) - (iii), (c) - (ii), (d) - (i)
  4. D(a) - (ii), (b) - (iii), (c) - (iv), (d) - (i)

Correct answer

B. (a) - (i), (b) - (ii), (c) - (iii), (d) - (iv)

Step-by-step solution

We know, the range of wavelengths between 700nmto1mm700nm\text{to}1mm, is referred as Infrared rays. These are produced by heating an object to such an extent that the molecules start vibrating and it radiates infrared waves. When the object is not hot enough such that it can emit visible light, therefore, it radiates Infrared waves.
Thus, option (a) in list I matches with Option (i) in list II.


The range of wavelengths between 1nmto400nm1nm\text{to}400nm, is referred to as ultraviolet rays. Ultraviolet rays are produced due to atomic excitation in a gaseous discharge tube. This atomic excitation occurs when an atom from one energy level jumps to a lower energy level.
Thus, option (b) in list I matches with Option (ii) in list II.

The range of wavelengths <10−3nm< {10}^{- 3}nm are known as the Gamma rays. Some of the radioactive substances, when decay releases a spectrum, which falls in the range of <10−3nm< {10}^{- 3}nm, they emit electromagnetic waves called the gamma rays.
Thus, we can say, Thus, option (c) in list I matches with Option (iii) in list II.

We know again, the range of wavelength 1mmto0.1m1mm\text{to}0 . 1m, is referred to as microwaves, and they are produced inside an oven in a tube like structure, called the magnetron.

Thus, we can say, option (d) in list I matches with Option (iv) in list II.
