Given below are some famous numbers associated with electromagnetic radiations in different contexts in physics . State the part of the electromagnetic spectrum to which each belongs .
(a) 21 cm ( wavelength emitted by atomic hydrogen in interstellar space).
(b) 1057 MHz [ frequency of radiation arising from two close energy levels in hydrogen, known as Lamb shift ].
(c) 2.7 K [ temperature associated with the isotropic radiation filling all space - thought to be a relic of the ..big - bang.. origin of the Universe ).
(d)` 5890 Å - 5896 Å` [ double lines of sodium).
(e) 14.4 keV [energy of a particular transition in `(57)^Fe` nucleus associated with a famous high resolution spectroscopic method ( Mössbauer spectroscopy)].
