The wavelengths of which electromagnetic waves is between those of ultraviolet light and gamma rays? Correct Answer X-Rays

CONCEPT:

  • Electromagnetic spectrum: It is the arrangement of electromagnetic radiations according to their frequency or wavelength.
    • ​The electromagnetic spectrum has a range of frequencies, wavelengths, and photon energies.
    • Typically, electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light in a vacuum. 
    • The electromagnetic spectrum is as follows:

Which of the following are examples of electromagnetic waves? a. Television waves b. Ultraviolet rays c. X-rays d. Sun rays
Which among the following order of decreasing wavelengths of electromagnetic waves are correct?  I. Radio waves II. Infrared rays  III. Visible light  IV. X-rays Choose the answer from the following code: 
The moon looks blood red during a total lunar eclipse because some of the sunlight passes through Earth’s atmosphere to reach the moon. As the white light breaks up while passing through the atmosphere, most of its blue-colored wavelengths are absorbed and scattered. The remaining red wavelengths light up the moon in blood-red color. Which of the following statements do not support the assertion of the above-given statement? I: The moon looks blood red during a total lunar eclipse as the white light breaks up due to the Earth's atmosphere where most of its red-colored wavelengths are absorbed. II: The moon looks blood red during a total lunar eclipse as the earth blocks the white light to travel to the moon.

Read the following passage carefully and choose the most appropriate answer to the question out of the four alternatives.
The human eye is a complex part of the body that is used for seeing. Eyes enable people to perform daily tasks and to learn about the world that surrounds them. Sight, or vision, is a rapidly occurring process that involves continuous interaction between the eye, the nervous system, and the brain. When someone looks at an object, what he really sees is the light reflected from the object. This reflected light passes through the lens and falls on the retina of the eye. Here the light induces nerve impulses that travel through the optic nerve to the brain and then over other nerves to muscles and glands.
The eye is similar to a television camera. Both the eye and the television camera convert light energy to electrical energy. The eye converts light to nerve impulses that are interpreted by the brain as the sense perception called sight. A television camera converts light to electronic signals that are broadcast and transformed into light images in a television receiver. It is wonderful that human eyes blink an average of once every six seconds. This washes the eye with the salty secretion from the tear or lachrymal glands. Each tear gland is about the size and shape of an almond. These glands are situated behind the upper eyelid at the outer corner of the eye. After passing over the eye, the liquid from the gland is drained into the nose through the tear duct at the inner corner of the eye. The sense perception that the brain releases after the eye converts light to nerve impulses is known as
The following question consists of six sentences of a passage. The first and the sixth sentences are given in the beginning as S1 and S6. The middle four sentences in each have been jumbled up and labelled P, Q, R and S. You are required to find the proper sequence of the four sentences and mark your response accordingly. S1 : One of the many young scientists who chose to throw in their lot with Rutherford was an Oxford physical chemist, Frederick Soddy. S6 : We now know that Gamma rays are a particularly fierce form of X-rays. P : His association with Rutherford lasted only two years, but that was long enough to change the whole face of physics. Q : He was just 23. R : They found that thorium changed into a new element , thorium X, and in the process gave off what was apparently a gas and at the same time a third type of ray, which they named after the Greek letter ‘Gamma’. S : When he teamed up with Rutherford, they investigated thorium which, as Marie Curie had shown, was radioactive. The proper sequence should be
