Q155 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2022 (08 Jul Shift 2) · Physics

The correct ascending order of the wavelengths of the following electromagnetic waves is Ultraviolet, X-rays, infrared, gamma rays and visible light.

  • A
    $X$-ray, gamma ray, ultraviolet, infrared, visible light.
  • Correct answer
    B
    Gamma ray, X-ray, ultraviolet, visible light, infrared.
  • C
    Gamma ray, $X$-ray, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet:
  • D
    Gamma ray, $X$-ray, ultraviolet, infrared, visible light.

Solution

EM spectrum is as shown Figure
So, correct order of ascending wavelength is Gamma rays $\rightarrow \mathrm{X}$-rays $\rightarrow$ UV Infrared $\rightarrow$ Visible light $\rightarrow$ Infrared

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