Q2 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2019 (04 May Shift 2) · Chemistry

Which of the following series correctly represents the energy of the radiation?

  • A
    Radio waves $>X$-rays $>$ visible $>I R$
  • B
    $\mathrm{UV}>\mathrm{X}$-rays $>\mathrm{IR}>$ radio waves
  • C
    $\gamma$-rays $>\mathbb{R}>$ visible $>$ micro wave
  • Correct answer
    D
    X-rays $>$ UV $>$ IR $>$ micro wave

Solution

Energy of radiation depends on wavelength of electromagnetic radiation. Figure
Thus, correct order of energy is $\mathrm{X}$-rays $>\mathrm{UV}>\mathrm{IR}>$ microwaves.

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