Statement-1: Out of the following radiations, microwave, ulrtaviolet and x-rays, microwaves has the shortest wavelength.
Statement-2: The microwave do not deviate from the obstacle in their path while going form one location to another.

A

Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true, Statement-2 is a correct explanation of Statement-1.

B

Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true, Statement-2 is not correct explanation of Statement-1.

C

Statement-1 is true, Statement -2 is false.

D

Statement-1 is false, Statement -2 is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d
The energy of X-rays is maximum as compared
microwave and ultraviolet rays. Since energy
`E=hhv=(hc)/lambda`, so `lambda` is least for X-rays. Therefore,
Statement-1 is wrong. The statement-2 is correct
