उत्तर
a. (i) In satellite communications, microwave is widely used. Hence λ1, is the wavelength of microwave.
(ii) In water purifier, ultraviolet rays are used to kill germs. So, λ2 is the wavelength of UV rays.
(iii) X-rays are used to detect leakage of oil in underground pipelines. So, λ3 is the wavelength of X-rays.
(iv) Infrared rays are used to improve visibility on runways during fog and mist conditions. So, it is the wavelength of infrared waves.
b. Wavelength of X-rays < wavelength of UV < wavelength of infrared < wavelength of microwave.
⇒ λ3 < λ2 < λ4 < λ1
c.
