(b) Arrange these wavelengths in ascending order of their magnitude.
(c) Write one more application of each.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) Microwave is used in satellite communications.
So `lambda_(1)` is the wavelength of microwave.
(ii) Ultraviolet rays are used to kill germs in water purifier So `lambda_(2)` is the wavelength of UV rays.
(iii) X-rays are used to detect leakage of oil in underground pipelines .So `lambda_(3)` is the wavelength of X-rays.
(iv) Infrared is used to improve visibility on runways during fog and mist condition. So, it is wavelength of infrared waves.
(b) Wavelength of X-rays `lt` wavelegth of `UV lt` wavelegth of infrared `lt` wavelength of microwave.
`rArr" "lambda_(3) lt lambda_(2) lt lambda_(4) lt lambda_(1)`
(c) (i) Mirowave is used in rader.
(ii) UV is used in LASIK eye surgery.
(iii) X-rays is used to detect a fracture in bones.
(iv) infrared is used in optical communication.
