Question

Let λᵥ, λₓ and λₘ denote the wavelengths of visible light, X-rays and microwaves. Which ordering is correct?

G1 Physics · Accepted Answer

Step 1: Microwave radiation has a much longer wavelength than visible light. Step 2: Visible light has a much longer wavelength than X-rays. Step 3: Therefore λ_m > λ_v > λ_x. Answer B. Final answer: (B) λₘ > λᵥ > λₓ.
