Arrange the regions of electromagnetic spectrum in ascending order as per wavelengths :

(1) Ultraviolet
(2) Microwaves
(3) X-rays
(4) Television and Radio

  • A.(4), (3), (2), (1)
  • B.(1), (3), (4), (2)
  • C.(3), (1), (2), (4)
  • D.(2), (3), (1), (4)

Answer: C

In ascending order of wavelength the regions are (3), (1), (2), (4).

  • X-rays: about 0.01-10 nanometres.
  • Ultraviolet: about 10-400 nanometres.
  • Microwaves: about 1 millimetre to 1 metre.
  • Television and radio waves: longer still, from about a metre to kilometres.

Option A is close to the descending order, and B and D misplace X-rays or microwaves. Wavelength rises as energy falls, from X-rays to radio.
