The correct Answer is:
To find the names of the given wavelengths, we will categorize them according to the electromagnetic spectrum. Let's analyze each wavelength step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the first wavelength, \(10^6 \, \text{m}\) - **Analysis**: The wavelength of \(10^6 \, \text{m}\) is very large. - **Category**: According to the electromagnetic spectrum, any wavelength greater than \(1 \, \text{mm}\) (or \(10^{-3} \, \text{m}\)) falls under the category of radio waves. - **Conclusion**: Therefore, \(10^6 \, \text{m}\) is classified as **Radio Waves**. ### Step 2: Identify the second wavelength, \(10^{-10} \, \text{m}\) - **Analysis**: The wavelength of \(10^{-10} \, \text{m}\) is very small. - **Category**: This wavelength is in the range of X-rays, which typically range from \(1 \, \text{nm}\) (or \(10^{-9} \, \text{m}\)) to \(1 \, \text{pm}\) (or \(10^{-12} \, \text{m}\)). - **Conclusion**: Therefore, \(10^{-10} \, \text{m}\) is classified as **X-rays**. ### Step 3: Identify the third wavelength, \(10^{-7} \, \text{m}\) - **Analysis**: The wavelength of \(10^{-7} \, \text{m}\) is also small. - **Category**: This wavelength falls within the visible spectrum, which ranges from approximately \(400 \, \text{nm}\) (or \(4 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{m}\)) to \(750 \, \text{nm}\) (or \(7.5 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{m}\)). - **Conclusion**: Therefore, \(10^{-7} \, \text{m}\) is classified as **Visible Light**. ### Final Summary - \(10^6 \, \text{m}\) → **Radio Waves** - \(10^{-10} \, \text{m}\) → **X-rays** - \(10^{-7} \, \text{m}\) → **Visible Light**
