Frequency of radiations arising from lamb shift in a hydrogen atom is 1057MHz. Identify which part of electromagnetic spectrum does this frequency lie in.

Options

A. infrared rays
B. X-rays
C. `gamma`-rays
D. Radio waves

Answer

D

Explanation

This given frequency correspond to the radio waves i.e. short wavelength or high frequency.
Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longer than infrared light in the electromagnetic spectrum. Charged particles undergoing acceleration, such as time varying electric currents, produce radio wves. Transmitters create artificial radio waves, which radio receivers receive through antennas. In modern technology, radio waves are commonly used in fixed and mobile radio transmission, television, radar adn radio navigation systems, communications satellites, ellular computes networks, and a variety of other applications.
