The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem regarding the wavelengths of visible light (λ_v), X-rays (λ_x), and microwaves (λ_m), we need to understand the relationship between wavelength and frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum. Here's the step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Electromagnetic Spectrum The electromagnetic spectrum is arranged in order of increasing frequency and decreasing wavelength. The order is as follows: - Radio Waves - Microwaves - Infrared - Visible Light - Ultraviolet - X-rays - Gamma Rays ### Step 2: Identify the Wavelengths From the arrangement in the electromagnetic spectrum: - **Microwaves** have longer wavelengths than visible light. - **Visible Light** has longer wavelengths than X-rays. ### Step 3: Compare the Wavelengths Based on the above understanding: - λ_m (Microwaves) > λ_v (Visible Light) > λ_x (X-rays) This means: - λ_m > λ_v > λ_x ### Conclusion Thus, the correct relationship among the wavelengths is: - Microwaves (λ_m) have the longest wavelength, - Followed by Visible Light (λ_v), - And X-rays (λ_x) have the shortest wavelength. ### Final Answer The correct order is: λ_m > λ_v > λ_x ---
