Easy MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2020

Choose the correct option relating wave lengths of different parts of electromagnetic wave spectrum:

  1. A $\lambda$<sub>radio waves</sub> &gt; $\lambda$<sub>micro waves</sub> &gt; $\lambda$<sub>visible</sub> &gt; $\lambda$<sub>x-rays</sub> Correct answer
  2. B $\lambda$<sub>visible</sub> &gt; $\lambda$<sub>x-rays</sub> &gt; $\lambda$<sub>radio waves</sub> &gt; $\lambda$<sub>micro waves</sub>
  3. C $\lambda$<sub>visible</sub> &lt; $\lambda$<sub>micro waves</sub> &lt; $\lambda$<sub>radio waves</sub> &lt; $\lambda$<sub>x-rays</sub>
  4. D $\lambda$<sub>x-rays</sub> &lt; $\lambda$<sub>micro waves</sub> &lt; $\lambda$<sub>radio waves</sub> &lt; $\lambda$<sub>visible</sub>

Solution

Decreasing order of wavelength, <br><br>Radio wave &gt; Microwave &gt; Infrared &gt; <br>ROYGBIV(Visiable Resion) &gt; Ultraviolet &gt; X rays &gt; $\gamma$ rays <br><br>So the correct order - <br><br>$\lambda$<sub>radio waves</sub> &gt; $\lambda$<sub>micro waves</sub> &gt; $\lambda$<sub>visible</sub> &gt; $\lambda$<sub>x-rays</sub>
