Consider the following electromagnetic radiations:
(I) Microwaves
(II) Ultraviolet rays
(III) Infrared rays
(IV) Gamma rays

Which of the following represents the correct descending order of their wavelengths?

Options

  1. A(I)>(III)>(II)>(IV)\text{(I)} > \text{(III)} > \text{(II)} > \text{(IV)}
  2. B(IV)>(II)>(III)>(I)\text{(IV)} > \text{(II)} > \text{(III)} > \text{(I)}
  3. C(I)>(II)>(III)>(IV)\text{(I)} > \text{(II)} > \text{(III)} > \text{(IV)}
  4. D(III)>(I)>(IV)>(II)\text{(III)} > \text{(I)} > \text{(IV)} > \text{(II)}

Correct answer

A. (I)>(III)>(II)>(IV)\text{(I)} > \text{(III)} > \text{(II)} > \text{(IV)}

Step-by-step solution

The electromagnetic spectrum in the order of decreasing wavelength is:

Radio waves >> Microwaves >> Infrared rays >> Visible light >> Ultraviolet rays >> X-rays >> Gamma rays

From the given options, the correct descending order of their wavelengths is:

Microwaves (I) >> Infrared rays (III) >> Ultraviolet rays (II) >> Gamma rays (IV)

Answer: (I)>(III)>(II)>(IV)\text{(I)} > \text{(III)} > \text{(II)} > \text{(IV)}
