Correct answer: (C) X-rays. ( X-rays have a wavelength range of 0.1 Å to 100 Å or 0.1 × 10^-10 ~m to 100 × 10^-10 ~m or 0.01 ~nm to 10 ~nm .

Q155 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2022 (07 Jul Shift 2) · Physics

Light of wavelength $1 \mathrm{~nm}$ belongs to the following class of waves

A
Radiowaves
B
Microwaves
Correct answer
C
X-rays
D
Gamma rays

Solution

( X-rays have a wavelength range of $0.1 Å$ to $100 Å$ or $0.1 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~m}$ to $100 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~m}$ or $0.01 \mathrm{~nm}$ to $10 \mathrm{~nm}$.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
