Match the following lists :
| List-I (Region) | List-II (Wavelength) |
|---|---|
| P.Reflected IR band | 1.Less than 0·03 nm |
| Q.X-ray | 2.0·1 – 30 cm |
| R.Gamma ray | 3.0·7 – 3·0 μm |
| S.Microwave | 4.0·03 – 3·0 nm |
Select the correct answer using the code given below :
- A2 3 1 4
- B3 4 1 2Correct
- C4 1 3 2
- D4 1 2 3
Solution
Concept
Regions of the electromagnetic spectrum
Step-by-step solution
1. Reflected IR: 0.7–3.0 μm → 3. 2. X-rays: 0.03–3.0 nm → 4. 3. Gamma rays: less than 0.03 nm → 1. 4. Microwaves: 0.1–30 cm → 2.
Explanation
Wavelength increases from gamma rays through X-rays and infrared to microwaves.
Why the other options are wrong
The other codes break the order of increasing wavelength.
Shortcut
Γ < X-ray < IR < microwave.
Correct answer: B) 3 4 1 2
