Easy MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2024

Arrange the following in the ascending order of wavelength:

A. Gamma rays $\left(\lambda_1\right)$

B. $x$ - rays $\left(\lambda_2\right)$

C. Infrared waves $\left(\lambda_3\right)$

D. Microwaves $\left(\lambda_4\right)$

Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below

  1. A $\lambda_1<\lambda_2<\lambda_3<\lambda_4$ Correct answer
  2. B $\lambda_2<\lambda_1<\lambda_4<\lambda_3$
  3. C $\lambda_4<\lambda_3<\lambda_2<\lambda_1$
  4. D $\lambda_4<\lambda_3<\lambda_1<\lambda_2$

Solution

<p>Wavelengths are as</p> <p>Gamma rays $<1 \mathrm{~nm}$</p> <p>x-ray < $(1-10)$ nm</p> <p>Infrared $<(700-10^5) \mathrm{~nm}$</p> <p>Microwave $<(10^5-10^8) \mathrm{~nm}$</p>
