Identify the electromagnetic waves as per their following use/ applications. (A) $λ_1$ is used to produce heating effect Choose the correct answer from the options given below: |
(A) Microwave, (B) Visible, (C) UV, (D) Infrared (A) Infrared, (B) Microwave, (C) Ultraviolet, (D) Visible (A) Infrared, (B) Microwave, (C) Ultraviolet, (D) X-rays (A) UV, (B) Microwave, (C) Infrared, (D) Visible |
(A) Infrared, (B) Microwave, (C) Ultraviolet, (D) X-rays |
The correct answer is Option (3) → (A) Infrared, (B) Microwave, (C) Ultraviolet, (D) X-rays (A) λ₁ → Infrared : These waves are used to produce heating effects in microwave ovens and also for radar communication, as they can cause molecular vibrations in water molecules leading to heat generation. (B) λ₂ → Microwave : These waves are used in satellite and television communication because they can travel long distances through the atmosphere without significant attenuation. (C) λ₃ → Ultraviolet rays : These rays are absorbed by the ozone layer present in the Earth's stratosphere, preventing harmful radiation from reaching the surface. (D) λ₄ → X-rays : These are used for studying crystal structure in X-ray crystallography, as their wavelengths are comparable to interatomic spacings in crystals. |
