AIPMT PRELIMS 2005 Physics Wavelengths MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Easy-Class 12

If λ, λₓ and λₘ represent the wavelengths of visible light, X⁻rays and microwaves respectively, then:

A

λₘ > λₓ > λᵥ

B

λᵥ > λₘ > λₓ

C

λₘ > λᵥ > λₓ

D

λᵥ > λₓ > λₘ

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

Microwaves have the longest wavelength, followed by visible light, and X⁻rays have the shortest wavelength. Thus, λₘ > λᵥ > λₓ.
