Match each type of electromagnetic radiation in Column I with its representative wavelength in Column II. Column I: (a) Microwaves, (b) Gamma rays, (c) AM radio waves, (d) X-rays. Column II: (i) 100 m, (ii) 10⁻¹⁵ m, (iii) 10⁻¹⁰ m, (iv) 10⁻³ m.

Question

Accepted Answer

(a)-(iv), (b)-(ii), (c)-(i), (d)-(iii). Typical wavelengths: AM radio waves ~ 100 m (i); microwaves ~ 10⁻³ m i.e. millimetre range (iv); X-rays ~ 10⁻¹⁰ m i.e. atomic scale (iii); gamma rays ~ 10⁻¹⁵ m i.e. nuclear scale (ii). Thus (a)-(iv), (b)-(ii), (c)-(i), (d)-(iii).
