The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the arrangement of the wavelengths of visible light (λv), X-rays (λx), and microwaves (λm), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Wavelength Ranges We need to identify the specific wavelength ranges for each type of electromagnetic radiation: - **Visible Light (λv)**: The wavelength range for visible light is approximately \(4 \times 10^{-7}\) m to \(7 \times 10^{-7}\) m. - **X-rays (λx)**: The wavelength range for X-rays is approximately \(10^{-13}\) m to \(3 \times 10^{-8}\) m. - **Microwaves (λm)**: The wavelength range for microwaves is approximately \(1 \times 10^{-3}\) m to \(3 \times 10^{-1}\) m. ### Step 2: Compare the Wavelengths Next, we will compare the ranges of these wavelengths to determine their relative sizes: - **Visible Light vs. X-rays**: - The maximum wavelength of X-rays (\(3 \times 10^{-8}\) m) is much smaller than the minimum wavelength of visible light (\(4 \times 10^{-7}\) m). Thus, \(λx < λv\). - **Visible Light vs. Microwaves**: - The minimum wavelength of microwaves (\(1 \times 10^{-3}\) m) is much larger than the maximum wavelength of visible light (\(7 \times 10^{-7}\) m). Thus, \(λv < λm\). - **X-rays vs. Microwaves**: - The maximum wavelength of X-rays (\(3 \times 10^{-8}\) m) is still smaller than the minimum wavelength of microwaves (\(1 \times 10^{-3}\) m). Thus, \(λx < λm\). ### Step 3: Arrange the Wavelengths Based on the comparisons made, we can arrange the wavelengths in order from smallest to largest: - \(λx < λv < λm\) ### Final Arrangement Thus, the final arrangement of the wavelengths is: - **X-rays (λx)** < **Visible Light (λv)** < **Microwaves (λm)** ### Conclusion The answer to the question is that the arrangement of the wavelengths is \(λx < λv < λm\). ---
