Q 1 :    

The electromagnetic radiation which has the smallest wavelength are           [2024]

  • X-rays

     

  • Gamma rays

     

  • Ultraviolet rays

     

  • Microwaves

     

(2)

Gamma rays have smallest wavelength.

 



Q 2 :    

Match List-I with List-II.                               [2022]

  List-I
(Electromagnetic waves)
  List-II
(Wavelength)
(A) AM radio waves (i) 10-10m
(B) Microwaves (ii) 102m
(C) Infrared radiations (iii) 10-2m
(D) X-rays (iv) 10-4m

 

Choose the correct answer from the options given below.

  • (A)-(iv), (B)-(iii), (C)-(ii), (D)-(i)

     

  • (A)-(iii), (B)-(ii), (C)-(i), (D)-(iv)

     

  • (A)-(iii), (B)-(iv), (C)-(ii), (D)-(i)

     

  • (A)-(ii), (B)-(iii), (C)-(iv), (D)-(i)  

     

(4)

The wavelength of AM radio waves is 102m. The wavelength of microwaves ranges between 10-3m to 10-1m. Infrared radiations wavelength lines between 4×10-7m to 7×10-3m. X-rays wavelength ranges from 10-8m to 10-12m



Q 3 :    

The energy of the em waves is of the order of 15 keV. To which part of the spectrum does it belong?            [2015]

  • Ultraviolet rays

     

  • γ-rays

     

  • X-rays

     

  • Infra-red rays     

     

(3)

As  λ=hcE

where the symbols have their usual meanings.

Here, E=15keV=15×103eV and hc=1240eV nm

  λ=1240eV nm15×103eV=0.083 nm

As the wavelength range of X-rays is from 1 nm to 10-3 nm, so this wavelength belongs to X-rays.
