The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the electromagnetic spectrum and its uses, we will analyze each option provided and determine which one does not match correctly. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Uses of Each Type of Electromagnetic Wave**: - **UV Rays**: Used for fingerprint detection in forensic labs. - **IR Rays**: Used to reveal secret writings on ancient walls. - **X-Rays**: Used to study atomic structures and bone structures. - **Microwaves**: Listed for forged document detection. 2. **Analyze Each Use**: - **UV Rays**: This is a correct match. UV rays are indeed used in forensic labs for fingerprint detection. - **IR Rays**: This is also a correct match. Infrared rays can be used to reveal hidden writings on ancient walls. - **X-Rays**: This is a correct match as well. X-rays are commonly used in medical imaging and can help in studying atomic and bone structures. - **Microwaves**: This is where the mismatch occurs. Microwaves are not typically used for forged document detection; rather, UV rays are used for this purpose. 3. **Conclusion**: - The option that does not match correctly is **Microwaves for forged document detection**. The correct use for forged document detection is UV rays. ### Final Answer: The option that does not match is **Microwaves for forged document detection**. ---
