Question
Electromagnetic waves with wavelength
- λ1 is suitable for radar systems used in aircraft navigation.
- λ2 is used to kill germs in water purifiers.
- λ3 is used to improve visibility in runways during fog and mist conditions.
Identify and name the part of the electromagnetic spectrum to which these radiations belong. Also arrange these wavelengths in ascending order of their magnitude.
