Question
Choose the correct option related to wavelengths (λ) of different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Options
`λ_"x-rays" < λ_"micro waves" < λ_"radio waves" < λ_"visible"`
`λ_"visible" < λ_"X-rays" < λ_"radio waves" < λ_"micro waves"`
`λ_"radio waves" < λ_"micro waves" < λ_"visible" <λ_"X-rays"`
`λ_"visible" < λ_"micro waves" < λ_"radio waves" < λ_"X-rays"`
Solution
`λ_"radio waves" < λ_"micro waves" < λ_"visible" <λ_"X-rays"`
Explanation:
∵ E = `(hc)/lambda`
The orderly arrangement of different parts of EM wave in decreasing order of wavelength is as follows:
`λ_"radio waves" > λ_"microwaves" > λ_"IR" > λ_"visible" > λ_"UV" > λ_"X-rays" > λ_"gamma"`

The terminology of different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum is given in the text. Use the formula E = hv (for energy of a quantum of radiation: photon) and obtain the photon energy in units of eV for different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. In what way are the different scales of photon energies that you obtain related to the sources of electromagnetic radiation?

Continuous X-rays are made to strike a tissue paper soaked with polluted water. The incoming X-rays excite the atoms of the sample by knocking out the electrons from the inner shells. Characteristic X-rays are analysed and the intensity is plotted against the wavelength. Assuming that only Kα intensities are detected, list the elements present in the sample from the plot. Use Moseley's equation v − (25 × 1014Hz)(Z − 1)2.
